“There is no truth except my truth and your truth” is a wildly inaccurate summation of both my position and the philosophy of post-modernism.

Since you clearly have a fixed position on the topic, discussion is unproductive and uninteresting.

For what it is worth, I was not asserting a position, but offering new ways of looking at a very problematic aspect of theology. I do not have the answers, I simply believe that the long established orthodox position has ignored its own problems for far too long and anyone wishing to be intellectually rigorous about their faith cannot continue to blindly accept it. If the internal inconsistencies can be resolved, I would love to eventually be able to re-embrace the very comforting and simple idea that there is one and only one path to truth. It is a much easier way to live life.
