Ringman and I may not be 100% on the same page theologically, but I respect his stand and convictions. So many "Christians" are in name only. The test would be, if they were arrested for being a Christian and taken to court, would there be enough evidence to convict..?? At least with Ringman, you know where he stands.
Being fanatical and illogical and closed minded about a subject matter, despite evidence to the contrary, does not equate to being a Christian. Having blinders on and leaving them on about a subject matter, despite evidence to the contrary, does not equate to being a Christian. Those who hope to use the Bible to beat dinosaurs and evolution and a very old earth into non-existence thankfully represent only a small number of the devoted followers of Christ...the majority of whom have no problem with dinosaurs, evolution, or a very old earth. They also, thankfully, don't have a problem with a spiritual, and allegorical...as well as historical...interpretation of the Bible.
