@Ron, thank you for your thoughtful discussion and space here. I guess part of my problem is that I really can’t get my head around a lot of the evangelical mindset. From the concept that the Bible As Printed Today In English is the Infallible Word of God (never edited, never politicized, never disrupted from Speaker to reader), to the practice of what in D&D we called “rules lawyering” bein more important than what online we call “IRL”… it’s just such a bizarre world. Likewise I am sure that my apparently “wacko liberal elitist” POV is ridiculous to most evangelicals. How can anyone claim to be serious about studying Scripture when they aren’t interested in any sort of in depth actual study? You know, languages, historical context, that sort of thing. While we’re on the “different worlds” topic, do a lot of them really think that the Rapture is going to happen this weekend?
