As in, interpreting the Bible as metaphor?
I do think they’re more valid and I’m more willing to respect someone’s faith on that ground. I’ve considered it myself before, even, but my upbringing as a (now former) Roman Catholic has definitely colored my interpretation of it.
The moment I couldn’t square biblical inerrancy with the many contradictory (both mutually exclusive and self-contradictory) statements of the Bible.
Also, being very into astronomy and evolutionary science, which ran hard up against the stories of Creation.
It’s either a reference to an object instance, or the instance itself (depending on whether you specified &mut self, &self or just self).
I think that’s just wanting to join a gay primitivist(?) commune.
I, uh, don’t suppose you got room for a bi-curious peep?
