I was raised Christian. I believe the Bible and in Jesus. But, I don't attend church because it's gone very astray from the original teachings of Christ. Anytime I try to engage pastors / theologians with hard Bible questions I get accused of being an atheist and am told to stop. But, there are lots of questions about history, the Bible, infomation from the Bible, that are not allowed to be discussed. Gnosticism is off the table. Early Christian beliefs are not allowed. In some cases, God is meant to be taken literally ("thou shall not kill") but, other times, the Bible meant to be taken figuratively (e.g. how many slaves you can have and how you are allowed to treat them). There are also deeper questions about our reality like: who were the Nephilem? The entire Tower of Babel story, quotations from Jesus about faith, miracles, etc.
   
So, is it strictly "Bible-thumpin' Southern Baptist" beliefs here? Where you either believe it 100% and never ask questions --- or, are you allowed to ask tough religious questions that explore Christianity more deeply?
