My perception -- just my perception -- is that he feels the text divinely inspired but secondary to a person's own "relationship" to God.

Well, the above article seems to imply that the Bible is not only not true, it's detrimental. The problem with a person's own "relationship" to God, is there is no objective criteria. Charles Manson, for example, had his own ideas about his own personal relationship with God, and without objective criteria, how can anyone say it is less valid than another?

It's a free country. People can and should believe whatever they want (just as long as they don't annoy me). Faith is a highly personal kind of deal, but I'm always wary of those who claim to know God's will. Mostly because right after telling you that they either:

A)Want to persecute some poor slob or group of poor slobs.
B)Ask for money.
