The following is an excerpt from an article posted on AlterNet, while directed at atheists my opinion is that the suggestion has value not only for atheists but for every one......

I came across this article after being inspired to search further by Crazyheart's biblical symbols thread. The author touches on a number of issues - myth in a literary context, symbolic language in an historical context and the loss of the richness of both in our modern context.

This - of course! - spoke to me...

Enjoy

I am going to present a couple of video's over the next week.

I hope you will tell me if you like them, if they would enhance your worship, if you find them good or not, etc.

Critique is what we like to do...and of course, it is wide open.

This makes me incredibly mad, I think because of the dishonesty even more than the changes.  BASTARDS!!  I find it really, really hard to see how anyone with any interest in caring for the world and each other is able to continue to support these disgusting, immoral, bastards.
