Assuming God DOES exist,(which I do! )
does this mean that the Bible should be taken literally(in a symbolic sense), or do we just junk the Bible and approach God through prayer, meditation, and communion in His name with other people?
Assuming God Existis...
His presence would be self evident and pervasive. This means not only the bible will have truth, but all works in contemplation of him and his nature. In other words, truths would resound thrughout the world in every text and faccet of nature.
Why not? I don't think God is the type of guy to give exclusive rights to a tribe of dirty nomads. I would imagine the true God (I'm still open to the possibility) would be so far beyond human conceptions that we are lucky to have even the littlest smidge of an inkling concerning his nature.
