Since i am approaching these questions from a non-faith based standpoint, i come to different conclusions about the Bible, god, etc.

Right. Nothing wrong with asking questions - at all - it's the name-calling and such that I find offensive and quite unnecessary.

I was taught to question everything - never to just take something - and I was taught this in a religious ed class! So I have struggled and journeyed with my faith and have come to where I am now...I'm sure more battles and struggles will follow...but yeah...that's just me..

The key-word here is faith - I don't need exact answers to everything - I am a woman of faith, I believe and I do so, sometimes without solid proof or exact answers - that's what religion and faith is all about...faith.
