I wouldn't under estimate God's ability to determine what He should do with His Universe.
Fundies do that. CONSTANTLY.
Just try and point out the fraud of 'eternal hell' to these fundies, and they go nuts. They do love their 'hell'.
Then there is the issue of 'free will' and praying some scripted 'sinners prayer' and voila, they are 'saved'. Never mind what scripture says about it. It's silly. Almost funny too...
There's another scripture that more Christians should pay attention to. It goes something like this. On judgment day many will claim to have healed the sick and cast out demons in Christ's name ... to which he will reply "depart from me, I have never known YOU" ...
I'll bet there will be wailing an gnashing of teeth at that moment.

You're right.
You could write volumes on scriptures fundies ignore or explain away into total meaninglessness.
But I am not aware of any churches that teach scripture, I mean really teach it from that stage prop they call a 'bible', much less find one that opens on a saturday. I left babylon years ago, and havent looked back. I do better on my own.

Looks to me like you've got a firm grip on reality.
