I already mentioned in this thread the literal/non-literal interpretation distinction between unitarianism and catholicism.
​
Then link to the post.
​
Which is literal and which is non-literal? Is the Trinity literal or is monotheism literal?

unitarians don't believe Jesus is God even though Jesus says that he and God are one and the same.
​
So, which belief is based on a literal interpretation and which is not?
​
I'm not sure why you people can't just admit that beliefs are ridiculous.
​
Because that isn't the topic.
