I just saw it for the first time on TV. I talked with my pastor about it. So I know not to pay attention to it anymore.

That's a little harsh. He saw a program on TV about it and wanted to know more before making up his mind. He asked somebody who he respected and thought would know a few more of the facts. Based on this broadened knowledge, he concluded that it was probably not something to take seriously. Just because the person he consulted was a priest does not mean that the priest simply told him what to believe.

We all have to base a large proportions of our opinions on information we receive from others more well versed in the topic in question.

You clearly don't know RB that well, he's the kinda guy who only takes his priest's word as definitive on such matters. If his priest told him Harry Potter books were the work of the devil, he'd believe him; if his priest told him that red haired people were inferior, he'd believe him. RB isn't a thinker, he doesn't take someone's views and mull them over until he decides whether or not they're reasonable, he uses them as a source of actual knowledge, not respected opinion.

I suspect that none of us know any of us that well. You could be right but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. I also lump many of the theists on this forum into one amorphous image to an extent that I can't tell one from another and forget has voiced which opinions. I probably do the same thing with the atheists as well. It's part of the nature of the medium to remove most identifying clues.

The Bible code merely proves the existence of the Creator.
