> sometimes it doesn't make any difference whether you are "right".

My point was that your system of colorful free thinking where everything is subject to redefinition on any whim makes real communication impossible. You say you believe in such a system but you really don't. Such a system is madness and absurdity. You choose to disregard truths that you don't like not because they are untrue, but because you don't like them.

In your preferred system of "everybody is right just if they believe they are", what would be your defense against the following decree from God:

"JB, you must go to hell because your first name starts with J"

Why would God be wrong to do that?

Of course I am being absurd here, but I want you to see where your "colorful thinking" leads. It is completely unworkable. You cannot escape logic, reason, either/or types of issues by trying to say opposite truths can both be correct. It is nonsense and you know it.

Now, if you will come to your senses and agree that such a system is "nonsense", I will give my answer to your question about the Bible. Until we can agree about the foundations of reason, it is useless to exchange information.

When you break the big laws, you do not get freedom; you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws.
