that's right, I just learned hermeneutics a couple hours ago. That was never covered in the seminary.

So are you saying that the liberal Christians don't ignore the more awful stuff in the bible. I think the cry of most liberal Christians is that they are not Paulists (since he is the "author" of the more nasty stuff). But that is in the Bible. Which means their hermeneutics is not consitant. Unless you then say that you just want to look at the word of Jesus. But even then you come into problems because he could be a prick at times too. And there are the internal contradictions in the gospels. And if you want to be like Jesus you can apparently destroy a fig tree for not giving you good fruit out of season. You do know that this can go on forever? And you do know that the "bad" Christians are pointing out your hermeneutics inconsistancies in their services, too?

The kid who have taken my Communication class are saying "ad hom" and that's all that's really important, right.
