That's a pretty big leap nossy Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 09:42:57 PM
I am a snob, aren't I?

I don't know. I think what would bother me is that he'll most likely be the type of person who believes the bible 100% and doesn't understand that there are different interpretations to things. How can he have learned to be open-minded if he never even tried to read other sources/opinions?

I'm curious how you get that extrapolation, all I got was "Man does not enjoy reading for recreation, is religious, reads his holy book" and your comment sounds an awful lot like "Those thespians are a vile pack of sodomites, almost as bad as those sick pedagogues"

And you say I extrapolated?:P

No, my point is that there are people (my brother) who have made comments like: "I don't need to read other interpretations - that just muddies the water. The information I need to know is Written for me." I capitalized the w, but the intent was pretty obvious. He isn't crazy, and the way he said it wasn't crazy; however, it is unacceptable to me. I think it is crazy, but that's because I believe that things you read should either have no effect or make your faith ultimately stronger, or you might want to question where you stand in the first place.

I didn't say he absolutely was that way, I just said that that would be my worry. Even if he hasn't avoided other writings, it seems odd to me that someone would specifically say he doesn't read much. Just a strange way to identify oneself.
