Thanks. He's out of the same mold as my grandmother. If more Christians were like them - I probably still wouldn't believe, at this point in my life, but I also wouldn't have as much automatic disdain, either.

"God has spoken on those issues."The sudden and easy answer to that being, "How do you know?"What tree was he sitting under when the thunder sounded and the lightning flashed and an angel came down from heaven and personally gave him the word?Maybe he'd say, "Didn't need to. It's in the Bible, which is the inerrant word of God."Uh huh. Well the inerrant word of God also says, consistently and throughout, from the first word of Genesis to the last word of Revelation, that the earth is flat and round like the top of a table, supported on four pillars, with the sky a thin solid dome above it and the stars being little glittery lights attached to the inner surface of that dome ... from which they will be shaken loose like leaves and fall down to earth, come Judgement Day.And the Bible is wrong.So that isn't much of an argument. Certainly not for adding extra misery to the lives of kids who have, through no fault of their own, a pretty tough row to how already.Or in shorter words,fuck him.
