I’m a bit of a religious nut.  Probably a brazil nut, I think, because they’re big.  Being raised in a Christian family somehow I didn’t rebel, somehow I didn’t walk away from Christianity.  I did, however, have my times of doubt, but instead of finding my faith destroyed by the doubt, I dug in, I studied, I grew and I feel confident that my faith is in something with substance.  I know that lots of folks who read this blog consider themselves ‘former Christians’ and I can understand why: there are a lot of bogus people walking around in the name of Christianity doing a lot of bad things.  However, I have found that those doing the bogus stuff are not doing what is written in the Bible.  In fact they’re doing things that the Bible warns about much of the time.

Yes, I do consider myself a fundamentalist in the classical sense, not the neo-media-craptastic sense.  That is to say that I believe that God inspired the Bible, has preserved the Bible and that is applies to my life today.  However,  I also consider myself to be abnormal from what most people expect that to mean because I try not to compromise myself, but I don’t sit around in sterile legalism.  I have written about some of what I believe on this blog under the Bible category as well as on bible.randypeterman.com.

I wish everyone was a Christian, yes, even you if you’re not one and I do love you, even if you’re not a Christian.  Get that.  I love you – because tollerating you just ain’t going to happen 😉
