Nor was I ever 'raging'. Comparatively, I was quite tame.

Chesterton recalls of his brother's birth:

[quote]Good. Now I'll have someone to argue with. [But] we never quarrelled. For a quarrel would have interrupted the argument.[/quote]

I'll admit, this is a common temptation. Who wants to lose an argument? But, I have an easier time admitting defeat on stuff other than theology. Because if I'm wrong on theology, I feel stupid, like I've fallen into a blind spot of faith. Other stuff like politics, who cares? It's all human wisdom anyway.

I thought that was a prerequisite for being a Baptist in the first place...

Are those the guys that handle snakes, too?

I'd certainly want someone with snake-handling skills in my corner during a fight. Sure, guns & knives are dangerous, but what are you gonna do if someone chucks a king cobra at you?

Yes, you were the most open baptist that I have ever met.

How long did it take you to get to that point? I have met many baptists that insist that their ian paisley view is correct and I don't know my own faith. After posting on Mount Biblical Sense, you were a breath of fresh air.

A few samples...

I was never 'closed' per say. I was only a baptist for three years, and while they tried, they just couldn't make me as mean as they wanted to. I was always searching for truth, even as a Lutheran. But where was phatmass when I was a Lutheran? huh? huh? :P: It's valuable having spent time as a Baptist though. I know how they think better than most people do. muhaha :mellow:
