Thanks Alan! If I can quit smoking, then surely a virgin can drive a camel through the eye of a fat man whilst loving her enemy!
Do I believe in miracles? I'm certainly skeptical. However, the natural world itself is so full of bizarre wonders which are inexplicable to my uneducated mind that I find any supernatural wonders that might test my “faith” at least acceptable to some degree. Science has explained the inexplicable for decades, even centuries, surely more “miracles” can be defined as time marches on.
My point being this; my “rejection” of the Gospels is not based upon a scientific standard that “miracles don’t happen in history”. Is that a component of my skepticism? Certainly. Just as those same miracles are a component of your Faith. However, the germination of my disbelief did not stem from a science vs. supernatural mindset.
This is a topic I hope to get into, as it’s not something to merely brush aside from an agnostic or Christian perspective. I am not afraid to discuss any issue you can think of about these books. I hope you won’t preemptively take things off the table via your own priori assumptions.
Now back to the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth... better known as smoking cessation.
