When through hell, just keep going. W. Churchill

I don't mind, really.
What I mind is having the fundamentalist label applied to me.

Fundamentalist Catholics do not acknowledge Vatican 2, for which they theoretically should be excommunicated if the religious dogma was strictly applied, which is not something I favour.
There is nothing in the New Testament stating that divorced people cannot attend the communion, still this has been the case for a long time, not to mention the fact that people who committed suicide were considered doomed, which is nowhere to be found in the Scriptures.
These are dogmas produced by the Church as a secular institution.

Urk. Right. Time to back off and try that again I think.

OK, I'm responding to:

Exactly the opposite. I accept that some of the myths may not be true, but I don't mind. Taking everything at face value would be foolish.

The point is that the myths have value and religious significance even if they're not literally true. It doesn't matter that the book of Genesis is a myth: it has religious value anyway. It doesn't matter that the detail of Christ's life may or may not be true: it still has significance and value.

Remember I don't mean myth here as a pejorative.

I thought I had answered to Colman. Sorry if I missthreaded
