To change Ali's statement above...
QuoteI'd agree that more liberal Biblical scholars would agree that passages need to be read in their historic, sociological contexts...
to:
I'd agree that all Christians should read the entire Bible in its historical, pseudo-historical, non historical, allegorical, metaphysical, mystical, magical and sociological contexts...
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

Believe me when I say it's indeed a compliment to be mistaken for Ali.

ROFL  ;D it's OK, if anything, Ali should be the one insulted -- I'm probably a LOT more of a nutter than she is. *grin*

LOL, that's what I keep telling myself too! Want to join my Nutter of the Month club? We're peanuts this month. Next month, I'm thinkin' pistachios...

Dry Roasted for me! But if you want to be Salted, I think that's only a dollar extra in membership fees. ;)

I briefly considered joining the Nutter of the Month club but they seemed to lack commitment and their standards were sloppy.  I see things haven't improved, tsk tsk, promoting a legume as a monthly representative.  That's something a nutty person would do, not a nutter.  Why reawaken that painful nutter/nutty schism again?

I'd prefer to see their standards as creamy, or extra crunchy.  ;D
