That approach NOT being that the Bible is inspired, inerrant, infallable and authoritative. As long as the Bible is not considered a special book from God above all others and as long as it is not preached to society in general all is ok. They want Christians to be sweet and read their little fantasy book in there cozy little reading room at home and cuddle in its precious message as they personally see it and that it where it must stay.

My personal experience of being a Christian for almost 26 years is that the average person does not demand a certain hermenutical approach to scripture. Alot of people may not want to follow the Bible but I don't get alot of trashing of it as not being true. Often there is a general dismissal of the Bible and more a emphasis on ones own choice to live the way they want. The greater put down of the Bible is seen in the mainstream media or the liberal Christian voices that are often quoted from in the media. Here is where I hear all kinds of twisting of the Scriptures and interpretation of them that often negates the clear script of the Bible.

It's hermeneutics...and aren't you demanding that Christians have a certain hermeneutics approach as well? You are saying the one, correct hermeneutic is to understand scripture as inspired, inerrant, infallible. There are many approaches to scripture, and to take it seriously, to study it, is to recognize its true nature, to realize it does have errors, it is fallible, and it was definitely influenced by the cultures around it.
What does it matter what society expects or not? Besides, it seems to me that right now, the predominant voice in U.S. religious society is from the right, and I'm tired of hearing them whine about how difficult it is to be a Christian in this world...
