My faith is strong, and reading questionable material doesn't weaken it - just like hearing Tom Daschle talk doesn't make me believe him.

Insanity it may be to you, but if it makes someone think about his faith (and perhaps strengthen it, as happened to me), to that extent it's worth it.

Teaching that Christ was never crucified for our sins is not a "questionable" teaching. It is a blasphemous teaching that spits on the Propitiation itself.

Teaching that Christ never rose from the dead is not a "questionable" teaching. It is a blasphemous teaching.

Agreed. One can't hide (or shouldn't have to) to try to protect your faith. I like reading things that don't always follow what might be called accepted fact. Mysteries of the past are particularly fascinating.

Doesn't compute around here :-)

Holy Blood, Holy Grail was an interesting albeit strange tale. As I'm always up for a good conspiracy I found the book quite fun. One can read any number of books without subscribing to what is in them. I had a Christian theology professor hand me his own personal copies of the Satanic Bible and the Tibetian Book for the Dead. Strange stuff, but reading it doesn't make one a Satanist or a Tibetian Buddhist.
