You know, I can certainly respect that. They make good music, and I've
liked it for a long time (since 1993, when I first heard their first
mainstream album). I don't even mind _that_ much people trying to make
sense of that book. What does frustrate me is that an awful lot of
Christians make these sorts of pronouncements, and then say, "Whoops! I
was wrong. I really meant this..." For a couple of years, I went to a
charismatic church where this was pretty normal for a while. As time went
on, it really got on my nerves that people were trying to prophecy and to
kind of be a medium for God (and would be thought as such to be God
speaking through the Holy Spirit) when in reality, they were just speaking
to themselves.

(on www.lightsource.com - figured that if I was going to gripe about the
series, I had better listen to a bit more of it so I can be more fluent in
the griping. And you know, it's just as bad as I've thought before...)
