Believe me when I say I'm my own worse enemy. I struggle with faith daily but the more I read, the more my new beliefs make sence. I have yet to fully read the bible. I got a bit lost in the Old Testiment. Right now I'm reading "A Case For Faith" by Lee Strobel. It talks a lot about this very topic.
One thing to keep in mind that it's not just Christians that hold what's on the Bible as teh truth, but the Jews too, after all we just added to their book. For that matter, the Koran that is read by the Islams isn't too distant.
Beer, sure, I'm up for beer.

Great David, I'll PM/email you week after next, off to Vegas tomorrow for the week.
it's funny that the more I read the bible, the less faith I have in God of the Bible. And a lot less faith in the paragons of virtue like David, Jacob (stealing birthright from Esau), etc. in the Old Testament. These were bad guys. Paul in the NT is pretty much the anti-Christ.
BTW, evolution, I believe, supports the idea of a higher being. whether it's god or not is a whole other question.
