I noticed on you...Mike, That is a very good point! I noticed on your blog you mentioned Andrew Sullivan's Virtually Normal. Right now I am reading his The Conservative Soul, and Sullivan makes a very similar point(of any kind) is actually quite comfortable because you know "Truth"--ultimate, incontrovertible "Truth." You don't have to think about it; when in doubt, just fall back on that "Truth" and you will always be right. But when truth is more elusive and doubts persist, it becomes much more difficult to be so sure of yourself. I haven't finished the book yet, but I think I'll post more fully about it when I do.Pink Elephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031605616491979253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597399695555911907.post-82189123241331521932007-05-12T13:49:00.000-05:002007-05-12T13:49:00.000-05:00Pink,You and I have the same approach to the Bible...Pink,<BR/><BR/>You and I have the same approach to the Bible. In addition to your remarks, I believe it is extreme hubris for any mere mortal to claim to know the will of God. Having a little doubt and flexibility in your faith takes more real faith than to simply parrot one canned line of doctrine.Michael-in-Norfolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06330888799107186550noreply@blogger.com
