Or just what someone is telling you from the pulpit.
The abount of unadulterated baloney I hear in some sermons is shocking. Down here, Christianity is almost more of a culture than a religious thing. And not really in the good way. $30 a month retirees preaching “from the gut” on Sunday morning - with people actually listening and believing - is what gets us some of the nutty beliefs that abound around here. I think that if I said that I didn’t believe the planet earth was created in six days they would ex-communicate me as a non-believer.
Who knows how long six days is to God. There are a lot of scriptures I don’t take literally. Like holy communion that bread is really jesus and that wine is really blood.
