The post about Bible and trouble? That's not the whole story, thank God.
You know the thing about the glass being either half-full or half-empty, depending on how you see it? Same thing with the Bible.

Barb, I actually had an exchange with Dr. Halsall over this issue, about how meaning 'presupposes' a Someone who gives the meaning. Likewise, with imagination
Blogpastor, indeed he does. I only wonder if the chuch sometimes has to take steps to put some butter on the dough, so it tastes soft and nice (instead of hard and cold) hehe
