Chris Schriner has started writing a new blog titled “Did God Really Say THAT!? A Blog about the Bible.” Chris decided he wanted to take on Biblical literalism, so that’s what he’s writing about on his new blog. Chris is learned, funny, and provocative. He’s also a former psychotherapist, and a humanist who is sympathetic to theists. Who better to write such a blog? In his most recent posts, he’s been taking on capital punishment in the Bible, like the following words spoken by God in Exodus 20.15: “Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put to death.” Wait, did God really say that? If so, as Chris points out in one post, then there are going to be a lot of toddlers on death row.
So what are you waiting for? Go join the fun by clicking here.
Thanks for your encouraging words, Dan. There are lots of web sites arguing against Biblical literalism, but virtually all of them are scornful and sarcastic, denigrating believers in general and Christians in particular. I want to critique the doctrine of scriptural inerrancy, but with respect for all who love the Bible.
