Hi there
I am stuck between worlds. I do not believe in the bible in any sense other than it is an interesting collection of myths, stories and pseudo-history. And yet, I am also despised by hard-line atheists for reasons that are difficult to understand.
Is the idea of being an agnostic Christian offensive here? Am I allowed to take part in religious discussion with liberal Christians and discuss Christian origins in a way that might be challenging to some? For instance, mythicism is a valid theory given what I have discovered about New Testament origins - do we need a historical Jesus?
Are you ready to discuss these ideas, or am I pushing this too far?
What would Shelby Sponge say?
