The letters after my name are B.S. B.A., M.S. M.A. and next year pHD. This does not include certifications. I have over 200 undergraduate college credits, and over 100 graduate school credits. I have at least 1 year of college study in every physical and social science, including religion and spirituality, political science and economics.
toot your own horn much? nobody likes a braggart and that is a pretty broad assumption considering the volume of members we have on this board.
As for my twisting peoples quotes. I may have done so mistakenly, but don't even imply that I did so on purpose. However, I believe that his post was edited after my response.
Regarding interpretation. That is exactly what is wrong. Everyone interprets to prove their point and advance their agenda. Truth will never be found in biased interpretation. That is why I do not follow religous interpretation, but only historical fact. Fanatics, those without critical analysis, tend to pick and choose their points of contention. What I am talking about is much more conceptual, macro and universal in value. Not pick and choose of specific micro points. True understanding of how things relate to one another comes from looking through the telescope, not the microscope. The big picture. The life of Jesus is much interpreted. So much so that there are now over 100 secs of Christianity. My original post contains no interpretation. Only the historical facts of the overt behavior of Jesus.
you say all these words, yet time and time again i have seen in posts your use of the "microscope" in attempt to justify what can only be labled as propaganda used to bash the right wing.
seems a little hypocritical to me.
