I agree, kimck. And, um, just a general reminder: not everyone here is a Christian.

While I believe that a familiarity with Christianity is necessary to be culturally literate in the United States, that does NOT mean that I believe everyone should read the Bible. That's two very different things! Cultural literacy means that you recognize that there's some Christian symbolism in The Chronicles of Narnia. Reading the Bible, at least as it is being discussed in some of the posts here, is religious instruction. That's not appropriate for this forum.

I feel like we're bordering upon evangelism in some of the posts here, and it's making me very uncomfortable, especially for my friends on the forum who are wonderful, caring, spiritual people, and are not Christians. Could we beware of making assumptions?

Thanks. smile
