I took intro to religious studies at a secular university. I took religion classes in elementary/middle school (catholic). I read the bible twice and selective readings after. I read part (at least 50%) of the michael behe's book and seen every video by Dr. Dino.

I own, and have read, more copies of the bible than any other non-christian I know. I've read the Q'uran, the Torah, the Bhagavagita, the I Ching - I love to learn about other faiths and cultures. I've even read many books on Wicca and The Satanic Bible and have piles of religiously themed literature everywhere.
I am an Asatruar (Germanic Heathen) so of course I've studied the Havamal, the Voluspa and the Eddas. But I am still an evolutionist. I do not deny the existence of any god or goddess, I simply worship my ancestral gods and goddesses rather than someone else's ancestral dieties.
I know not to take everything I read literally, so there's no contradiction with me being a person of faith, a student of human cultures and an evolutionist.

I accept evolution as fact, and I was raised Catholic - even attended Catholic school for 8 years. I have no idea exactly how many times I've read the Bible, except to say too many.

I've read the Bible in three translations cover to cover over twenty times. I've taken numerous college level courses in biblical studies from Baptist, Methodist, and Roman Catholic viewpoints.
I know the Bible. Why do you think I'm an atheist?

From my statement, it would want to look that a tremendous many so referred to as fundamentalists, even maximum pulpit preachers, merchandise the sheep, flock, congragation. They positioned on a canopy yet no longer of His spirit, that they could upload sin to sin. There are faux instructors as we talk, basically as there have been faux instructors for the period of Christs time. we are to attempt the spirits to work out in the adventure that they are of God, to no longer be lead astray, by potential of their crafty craftyness the position they lie in wait to misinform. maximum do no longer even open their Bibles and study on a daily basis to rightly divide the know reality. The seperation of church and state, is biblical. In essence what has been finished, is that by potential of receiving a tax exemption status, they're worshiping mammon and not in any respect God. If the church company does no longer take the 501(c)3 mark, they're going to be dissolved. subsequently they have grew to change into the reality in fables. now no longer have they were given take excitement in from the salt, and are sturdy for no longer something execpet to be trampled below by potential of the foot of fellows.

I've read the Bible... And ID literature gives me a headache... Instead of trying to fathom circular logic, I'd rather bang my head against the wall...

Biology requires a knowledge of biology-end of. Did you read the part of Behe's book where it stated the words "Darwin has triumphed"?
