Now, where do I stand today on some of these issues? 

Well, let me just say some things that’ll shock a lot of people (and maybe even make some people stop reading). I have numerous Scriptural reasons to believe that homosexuality (or any sexuality), so long as it’s between consenting, loving adults, is not a sin. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

Or, how about this stunning revelation: I have numerous Scriptural reasons to believe in evolution, and that Noah’s flood wasn’t a global flood, and Adam and Eve weren’t literally the first humans on earth.

Or, think about this: Hell isn’t a place of literal fire and brimstone, and heaven isn’t a place where people literally sit on clouds and strum harps forever, or get rewarded with frivolous things for their good works.

Oh, and Revelations was actually a letter written in a way that only those Paul was writing to would understand, so the Romans couldn’t figure out what the hell he was actually saying (fun fact: the Beast and the number 666 are actually references to the Roman emperor Nero, not Satan), and has nothing to do with the second coming of Christ.

Also, God, in the Hebrew bible, is genderless. 

I know, I know. Crazy, right? I’m totally a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I’m definitely going to burn in hell forever and ever.
