but its not ultimate truth. Nor is the bible for that matter.
Do you think the Bible is authoritative simply because it was written only 70 years after the death of Jesus and not 300? surely not. It contains some truth, but surely you wouldn't agree that its authoritative in the areas of lets just say perhaps... homosexuality?
Allen Watts once said: the problem with Christians is that they take the bible and suck it like a thumb, rather than use it as a finger which points beyond itself to understanding.
I truly believe that just about any writing can include a seed of truth, its those that claim it is the only truth and the single reference OF that truth that begin to create problems.
"I'm glad you're not making these decisions" Interesting conclusion based on so little knowledge of who I am. Ok.
