@ CC:

I am non-denominational at the moment, I think its stupid to pick one as most have some dogma they either take apart from scripture or blow out of proportion in importance. I was in a baptist church growing up, then a presbeterian church for a time until they broke off and became non-denominational. We were at an Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA) for a few months in transition, and now my father is leading his own church with no declared denominational ties. He is where I get most of my religious ideas and studied at a conservative baptist seminary for part of his degree in psychology. That gives you a bit more insight into my point of view than my denomination (or lack thereof) does I think.

@ yarko:

It kind of makes sense to equate god with a drug, certainly that is what people use to replace him sometimes. But I am going more for the classic insider mentality of religions.

@ ms frisby:

that is a logical jump I am not willing to take. While it may not be wrong per se to have multiple wives, it is wrong to go after indulgence of the flesh (even in marriage) instead of god. That is, I am sure, part of the reason church leaders are supposed to only have one wife.

thanks MF, i was asking cause sometimes specific dogmas believe things that arent in the bible. but your right, that did help me to understand where your beliefs are coming from.

people dont doubt who god has revealed himself as in scriptures. They argue about where to go from there.

All of them? The Koran, the Talmud, the Baghavad Gita, the Analects, the Veda and all the other holy written books? As well as all translations of the Bible?

EDIT: @ Ms Frisby

Ah well I thought you might be smarter than that so I left it unsaid.

Clarification: The judeo-christian bible as interpreted and read with the power of the holy spirit. No specific version, just a heart that is seeking god's will.
