That’s like comic book experts who’ve spent their lives analyzing comic books to decide if Superman was real.

[i]“a question that already has a professional answer.”[/i]

Maybe comic book experts aren’t the best professionals to answer this question given their bias and limited outside, independent resources.

I don’t think the comic-book analogy fits. Comic books are fictional by design; ancient religious texts are historical documents, even if people disagree about what they ultimately mean.

Either way, I’m not trying to argue anyone into belief. I’m just explaining why I’m comfortable where I am.

I value conversations with people who think differently—but only when there’s mutual respect. I’m happy to talk about beliefs, not defend mine as if they’re a flaw.[/quote]

It's a flaw if  you believe that there's a man up in the sky who forgives your sins, and if you're good, will send you to live eternally with him in Heaven[/quote]
