"Why the church shouldn't have been allowed ..."

Ummm..which church? There never was "the" church. **zzzzaaaappp** (me, dodging the lightning bolt from somewhere above)

Obviously, any group can choose, print, read, 'leave out'...etc, anything they wish...and therein lies fodder for a million opinions, studies, arguments, critiques and PHD theses.
Some groups have 'their' text, and assure each other that IT was 'inspired by God' - as is, with literal meanings and no tolerance for deviation. *shrug*... other groups look at them and shake their heads at the rigidity, preferring to learn and grow as they take in some essential truths, with no need for literal 'fact'.

The very fact that there IS such enormous range of opinion and belief is important, and one can approach this situation with many different attitudes...one being..."Hmmmmm...which one IS right?", while another is "Hmmm... are ANY of them right?"....and of course, "Hmmmm... maybe they are all a bit right".

Me? more like "Hmmm... how interesting. What is going on here?"
