How do Christians deal with that idea?
I grew up as a Christian, though I left a long time ago.
I always took it as obvious that the Noah's ark story was fiction, not history. And I had a similar view of the Adam & Eve story and the Tower of Babel story.
Many Christians do seem to take them as history. I find that quite strange. Those stories are just not at all realistic.

Re: Jim Palmer: Ex Megachurch evangelical
I'll mostly say that I like the way Admin has edited your message. It greatly improves it.
I don't have an serious disagreement with Jim Palmer.

Re: No Creator Owes Anyone Anything
jar writes in Message 48:
The god in the whole Exodus tale is just plain disgusting
It was while reading Exodus as a teenager, that I began to question Christianity.
The God of Exodus is so different from the God of the New Testament. And God is supposed to be changeless. I started to suspect that it was man who had created God, and the changes I was seeing were due to the changes in human culture.

Re: The Threat Of Willful Ignorance Haunts Elitists
Phat writes in Message 56:
Phat: Jesus died for my sins and has a plan to rescue humanity from collective willful ignorance.
And you are failing that plan.
Donald Trump has a diabolical plan to rip off the taxpayers for his own benefit. And gullible fools, such as we find among conservative Christians, are going along with that plan.
