Adjunct professor Steve Bitterman said administrators at Southwestern Community College in Red Oak sided with students who became upset when he called parts of the Old Testament a fairy tale that should not be interpreted literally.

He should have been more tactful. I am not a Biblical literalist, but if someone told me that..say...the Virgin Birth was a fairytale, I'd sue them too.

Re: The Plot Thickens A Bit

The flood is a minor point of contention.

The Virgin Birth is central to Christian belief. Jesus being just a human philosopher demolishes the power of the cross. IMHO, anyway
