That's neat, Jeri, I particularly liked the last sentence.

I go along with Rick on the Bible. A great book but subject to interpertation. Folks that take it too literally might not be considering that God gave us the intelligence to reason. There are too many conflicting things in the Bible, I think, to take it too literally. That's just my opinion of course and I'm aware a lot of people thing differently.

The recent ruling by the Southern Baptist Convention (I was raised one of those) boggles my mind. Women can't preach the gospel? Why not? The Bible says (paraphrasing) women should be seen and not heard. Wow! To my mind that's great 15th Century thinking. DougR
