Thankyou Alison,
It is good to see that someone
has the courtesy and humility
to be a mediator in this current
debate.

Blasphemy,[contempt for God]
It has been my observation from recent
comments to this Poetry site
that contempt for God seems to be
a prerequisite for those who deem
themselves experts in this field.
The fact that some of you are
most intolerant of my views
regarding the Biblical concept
of God,smacks,dare I say of bigotry.
I am not a Creationist Apologetic
or Christian Apologetic,I do not waste my
time in defending Christianity.
True Christianity stands or falls
upon an honest exegesis of the Bible.
To achieve this,one must approach
this task in a humble manner.
Humilty....Look it up in your Dictionaries.
Anti-intellectual? I don't think so.
Strong opinions? most certainly.
Why I am labelled as anti-intellectual
just because I have a strong opinion
about the Biblical concept of God,
the meaning of life and death,or it's
Eternal consequences,or whether the
Universe is absolute,or the choices
that we make during our puny
80 years on this Earth have a direct
consequence regarding Eternal life or whether
each one of us has been predestined
to either Eternity with God or Eternity
without God.......for this I am anti-
intellectual?
Frankly,these questions and their answers,
already revealed within the Holy
Bible..........are to me......EXTREMELY
important and fascinating.
I fail to see how anything else can be
more important!!!!!!!
Of course,if you are more interested
in reading literature that endeavours
to discredit Biblical Truth,then
read as much as you like.As I said,
I am not an Apologetic.
