The Bible is NOT - and has never been - a blueprint
I can relate to what he said.
Being born and raised in a Christian bourgeois family - with all the hypocrisy that it underlies - that is a repartee I often got whenever I was trying to get to the bottom of a ‘reasoning’ of theirs.
Which led me to decide:
- at the age of 13: that being an altar boy was ridicule - I stopped
- at the age of 14: being a Scout (the marine-blue kind, with chaplain’s guidance) was a waste of my time and competences - so I stopped
- ditto at 14: I started to say « Sunday morning are for sleep ins, not church office »
- at the age of 15 : I started to confront the adults surrounding me with all the inconsistencies within their beliefs, until one day my own mother told me I should debate the matter with a theologian from the Christian University nearby.
That is when I let go of conversations about religion with people who pretended to have faith.
Asinus asinus fricat, used to say the Romans. But I was not asinine enough to follow the donkey paths.
