How about a Phat clarification?
Nuggin,
​
The OP looks ambiguous to me. Phat has a title having to do with Biblical literalism, but only mentions "absolute truth" in the OP content.
​
If you take Phat as implicitly equating Biblical Literalism with "absolute truth", then I think you're right. But knowing PB, it's really hard to know if that's what he's really getting at, or if he's just trying to be metaphorical. He takes turns with both.
​
PB, you want to jump in and clarify? Or are you ... taking a "Phat" again?
​
Ben
