My comment about Springsteen is intended to also be a general comment. For me as a Christian, my reading of the Bible evolved as I continued my education.

And as I wrote in a previous post, religion is an inescapable part of our social fabric.

A question, if you feel like responding:

What is your particular view on being a humanist pagan? I ask because I know 2 people, both very progressive, who define themselves in that way.
