    Hello Poet2000,

    I applaud your surgical use of logic; and your use of cause and effect valuations. Excellent point. I am asking you now if you might apply your insight into the possibility that some persons can use the Bible as a reference for a broader and perhaps deeper statement of something they are expressing, much as anybody might do on any subject that has published literature, without actually subscribing to the referenced work.

    My point is that although the Bible is a Holy Book from God, that appreciation is only positively upheld by the Christian minded person. Otherwise, the Bible is simply another book, and may be justly used as a reference without authentic appreciation of spirituality.

    I guess what I am getting to is what is your own appreciation of the Bible when you hold it in your hands?

    I have an awareness that you are a point-blank person who likes to express honesty and authenticity. I encourage you to continue your point.

    Regards,
