Fundamentalist Christianity: Specifically literalism, beginning with Adam and Eve.
@rinkydinkydoink There is so much more to it than meets the eye. Plus, the bible in my opinion has been tremendously edited. I believe Enoch, Jubilees, The Dead Sea Scrolls and so on should all be a part of it. I realized there are other versions with those additions after doing further research.
@Promises

Interesting. I'd like to see all of the edits/revisions/rewrites/different translations from beginning to end. I wouldn't understand any of it but a symposium of respected biblical and lay scholars might.
@rinkydinkydoink Rather I should say omissions. KJV omitted a lot, but I still enjoy it. I think they were omitted for simplicity purposes Which doesn't make much sense as it is still pretty complicated regardless of the bastardization of it due to humans thinking they know what's best for the masses. Idk, that's my interpretation of it. I'll stand corrected with further debate and evidence. I really want the Ethiopian Bible. It has 88 books in it. Lol I am a curious spirited person.
@Promises

Yes - omissions. You said what I wanted to say. You have an open mind, too.
@rinkydinkydoink Thank you. I try. I know I don't have all the answers and I thrive on learning, researching, communicating and listening without judgement.
@Promises

My respect for you is mushrooming by the hour!
@rinkydinkydoink As mine is for you. I have a feeling I could converse with you for hours. I'm intrigued by your intelligence, authenticity, curiosity and reciprocity.
@Promises

I'm 4'2" tall and my remaining tooth needs to be capped pretty soon... still interested?
@rinkydinkydoink Well jinkies, I thought you were Dustin Hoffman. Got my hopes up for no reason lol

I need mental gymnastics and someone who can keep up. Hey, we can get you some stilts and some wooden dentures...teehee. I know that's just a myth about 'ol Abe Linky 😆
@Promises

Keep looking - seriously! There are some truly funny people on SW. My "humor" is a rehash of something old Ed Sullivan standup comics said decades ago.
