doofdaddy - "Could I offer another scenario? That Franz became terrified with the (emerging from higher studies) possiblity of there being no such thing as ultimate truth so fell back on what was safe and what fitted his egoic imaginations?"
Or learning the history of the Bible canon compilation? Or compelling scientific evidence that Genesis was not literal? Or historical evidence that Revelation was a veiled tirade against Rome under Nero? Or simply the skill of critical thinking?
All of those things would have definately freaked Freddy the f**k out...
