    “The Bible withstands scrutiny, which was a great surprise to me. I thought it couldn’t. I was wrong.”

    This surprises me - it’s certainly not been my experience that it does (and definitely from a historians perspective).

    It would be interesting to hear him talk about this with someone who isn’t a “mocking skeptic”.

    I wonder if his conversion will stick.

      Right? The question I’d ask him is: “So which denomination would you adhere to, or would you start your own?”

      And the crazy part is that I wouldn’t even be asking that mockingly but rather with genuine interest, because, frankly, denominational squabbling is what majorly contributed to my own departure (certainly not the only factor, but it definitely played a heavy role).
