      That actually doesn’t sound that unreasonable. Take all the hocus pocus out of it and yeah, Jesus was a good role model.

          Who knows. Maybe what Jesus actually did was set up a food distribution network to feed those 4000 people for free.

          This is now my bible head canon. They can make stuff up, why can’t I?

            Actually had a priest suggest that the miracle of the loaves and fishes was that as the baker went around, those who brought their own put extra in the basket.

      I always love how evangelicals try to push the idea that the founding fathers were bible thumpers like themselves. So many of them were deists which to a evangelical, is extremely heretical. Hell, Thomas Paine especially was not shy about expressing his pretty strong dislike for Christianity.
