I thought they made that change years ago.

Not sure, but a number of denominations have been wrestling with this.  Times have changed.

They are losing membership so they think accepting all this will increase numbers. The problem is that the people they are accepting have no interest in being Christians.

I haven't looked at the membership numbers, but there is definitely a problem with self-professed Christians who do not act like Christians.  It can really turn a lot of people off.

The Bible and common sense.

[B_B_C]

The Bible and common sense.

the bible comes in many forms and even more interpretations while common sense seems to be more frequently y expected of the other but less forthcoming from the self

I doubt that the parts I'm thinking about, which talk about being a decent person, have varying commonsense interpretations.  Most people know a practicing Christian when they see one based on how they live their lives.  That doesn't mean only Christians live a certain way, but evaluating people based on how they act isn't that complicated.  That said, you never know for certain what is in someone's heart.

You sound whacked. You are an atheist, yet you defend Jesus like he was Christ or something. You really need to make up your mind.

[Agnostic007]

The Bible and common sense.

What parts of the bible? And when did common sense have anything to do with believing in a 4000 year old book and its 2000 year old brother who speak of the earth standing still. A flood with an ark with all the animals, seas parting, all the 1st born being killed, etc. What common sense would believe such nonsense?

The parts that talk about honesty, humility, temperance, kindness, love (the verb), etc.  People with common sense understand exactly what it means and how it is used.

An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart:
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!"

What verse is this and why are you reading the Bible? 

[B_B_C]

What verse is this and why are you reading the Bible?

should I not be reading it ?

So you don't know why you are reading the Bible?  Strange.

well, it is none of your business

[Dos Equis]

well, it is none of your business

True, but you are posting Bible verses on a public message board, so it's not exactly a secret that you are reading the Bible.  Just wondering why.
