But YOU would be an even more dominant feature in your analysis. At least he doesn't have a dogma that the Biblical text must be forced to submit to.

Re: Am God (dogma in reverse)

You mean his dogma that the bible isn't the word of God isn't a dogma?
No, I mean that as far as I know he doesn't have a dogma that the Bible isn't the word of God. And if he did it would hardly influence his interptation in a bad way - unless you assume that God is a lousy writer or just plain deceptive.
Of course the fact is that there is no book of the Bible that actually claims to be the Word of God. The closest you can find is sections where a prophet or the author is repeating a message which he claims comes from God. So maybe you do think that God is deceptive to so thoroughly obscure the authorship you attribute to him.

Chapter and verse please.

And it is only your disbelief which supposes that there is such a beast. Horns of a dilema?
Why would that be ? It seems that the idea that someone could fairly evaluate the Bible is entirely possible. Can you give me a good reaon why that would not be so ?tr
