Article-I.D.: ucbvax.7 Posted: Mon Mar 14 02:47:10 1983 Received: Thu Mar 17 21:06:33 1983 References: unc.4769 It seems to me that the only Biblical "validity" worth anything is whether or not it inspires you towards better living (and I'd rather not argue what's "better"). I say the same for all books claimed to be of divine inspiration... if the Bhagavad-Gita turns me on and the Bible doesn't, who are YOU to tell ME where my heart is at??? The majority of Biblical and Christian preaching these days is hardly done from a loving space. And like I said in net.philosophy, how would I know you're a Christian if you didn't tell me? By your works?? scott
