And where did I say I was going to debate?
And yes, point me to a thread that talks about literal bible reading even though I specifically said this topic is about non-literal bible reading.
Let me pose my question in another way.
I am an outsider. I take a look at your religion. You claim to follow christ and christ's words. But then you also say you believe christ's words are a collection of fictional stories.
To me, the literal interpretation of the bible makes a heck of a lot more sense. That's where you get your info on god and christ. If you consider the bible just a collection of fictional stories, then where's your source of info on god and christ?
