Yes, and it's a rather fine morning, 72F and that's not bad, although it might be hot later, but that's about normal for this time of year, in late July. I am always ready to say good riddance to July. After all this time we still honor Caesar Augustus, and I like that just fine. Wednesday is for Wotan, and so on. We still honor the old gods. It's interesting that there are still Messianic Jews running around. They should know better. I recently got a little book on the Gospel of Mary. Interesting. I've been reading a lot of Bart Ehrman and James Tabor and Elaine Pagels and so on. That's true and authentic scholarship. No bullshit there. No huckstering, nothing tendentious, and no mindless propaganda. There is no substitute for honest and intelligent scholarship.
There is too much mindless recitation of creeds that fall apart under the critical and discerning eye.
