Re: Never was any intellectual dishonesty
Not believing that God authored the Bible leaves you open to every kind of doubt and whim of doctrine.
Oh I believe God authored the Bible. I just don't believe he dictated it. And don't get me wrong. My faith is way stronger believing that the Bible is the story of God working with his people than it would be if I thought it WAS dictated. There are different ways of believing, Faith. You think I am too smug, I think you are too judgemental.
But I am way OT and this thread is over the limit.

Re: Never was any intellectual dishonesty
I don't "need" anything to "make my faith work."
Does your belief system still make sense if you take YEC out of it?
If you believe that the Bible is literally true, then it follows that you believe YEC. If you don't believe YEC, then it follows that you don't believe that the Bible is literally true.
Therefore, you do in fact "need" to believe that YEC is true to make you "faith work".
