I think the reason I have trouble accepting the Bible as truth is that, as much as I try to keep an open mind about these things, I close it on Sundays
(and statutory holidays).
Sunday is God's biggest selling day, when He sends people out to convince everyone that He exists, while He hides in a bush, which is on fire, a fire that doesn't need to be put out, because the bush never burns, and then…blah blah blah.
My mind works a full week. It does not accept any new ideas on Sundays.
