Thanks, I'm slowly reaching out to some on the internet, but it is a physical community that I can interact with that is the greatest need. The internet may or may not be available as time goes by, and neighbors close to home will be even more important in many ways.

But it is not a "non-religious" discussion I am looking for. (Depending on the definition of "religion," of course.)

I am a Christian, and my life is centered in God. I simply reject the idea that the Bible is the perfect and ONLY "word of God" and refuse to worship it instead of the creator of the universe. I guess what I'm seeking is a community of those who know and love God/Jesus... who can get past (or hopefully never indulged in) this bible worship and discuss the real things of life without that book as the only reference.

Christians lived that way for many hundreds of years before books were generally available, and the Bible as we know it is a relatively recent conglomerate of translations of various human writings of many ages. I especially reject the ridiculous idea that it (the parts that survived) suddenly became perfect and all important because a certain king of England caused a translation to be done and allowed a book to be printed with his kind "authorization!" ARGGGGGGG!
