Two things about this posting disturb me: (1) that the sender does not
identify him/herself other than by e-address (I like to think I'm
communicating with real people, even if I don't really know them
personally), and (2) an implicit assumption that there is only one kind
of "Bible-believing person" and only one set of propositions regarding
the truth of scripture. Have I misunderstood that implication?
