First, I'll say that I'd be absolutely delighted to drop
this thread. But I know how irritating it is when relevant
questions get ignored. So I'll at least answer this one.
I think the others have been discussed very thoroughly in
this forum.
Again, I harbor no resentment towards non-YEC Christianity.
YEC is a cult, and I abhor it.
Blake, there was no Adam and Eve, no original sin, and thus
no need for a savior. Christianity seems to have largely
evolved into a social network, where it is still functioning
(talking first world, here).
The fact is that the Bible reads like mythology. I refuse
to base my life on mythology. I wouldn't base my life on
Homer's writings.
In all likelihood, any further replies in this thread will be
off-list. I do hope that the ASA continues to point out the
hideous deceit of YEC.
Jim
