Science is a tool that can be abused!

Nearly all the Old Testament prophets were polygamous.

Good point. Thanks, I've been eyeing a 12 year old down the street.

As long as you wait till she's 18 years old and consents. Do as you want.

Nah, 14 is fair game. Follow the prophet!

Here you are quoting your own interpretation of the Bible which the Bible itself tells you not to do. What a racket.

Scripture says:

"First of all, understand this: no prophecy of Scripture is to be interpreted by an individual on his own;"

I suspect this was added to support the church. But it can be viewed that with the spirit of truth you are not alone. But none of this matters because you reject all of it anyway. But there is nothing wrong with rejecting it all.

Correct? Not according to the scriptures.

II Peter 20:16-21

16 For when we made known to you the power and the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, we did not rely on cunningly contrived myths. On the contrary, we saw his majesty with our own eyes. 17 For we were there when he received honor and glory from God the Father; and the voice came to him from the grandeur of the Sh’khinah, saying, “This is my son, whom I love; I am well pleased with him!” 18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.

19 Yes, we have the prophetic Word made very certain. You will do well to pay attention to it as to a light shining in a dark, murky place, until the Day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts. 20 First of all, understand this: no prophecy of Scripture is to be interpreted by an individual on his own; 21 for never has a prophecy come as a result of human willing — on the contrary, people moved by the Ruach HaKodesh spoke a message from God.

The above all sounds like a cunningly contrived myth to me!

Well, if that be so; then all those "backward," "uneducated," and "unsophisticated" "sheep herders" must have been light years ahead of all the philosophers on this planet.

I don't reject all of it. I reject thinking uncritically about it. I reject "inward journeys" as a source of authority. Your subjectivities are not my reality. You share them as if they could be or should be. Very silly of you, Frank.

This all sounds like a program the wife is watching about Ayahuasca and DMT being a doorway into another dimension in the other room. The spirit molecule - kind of a contradiction in terms.

Meanwhile I am snuggling up to a new book, The Soul Fallacy by Julien Musolino.

Spirit molecules and God particles...journalists just can't let go of the supernatural. While some of it is poetic and figurative, much of it is just lazy.

Why should I? by the way I was a sophomore in High School and 14 year old's could legally consent and get married

To someone nearly 40 years old and who was already married to many other women that he did not provide for?
Enabler.

Over-specificity. No upper age limit. Polygamy wasn't an option in the US. Bigot.
