Another good question to ask a Christian: "What is your methodology for determining what in the Bible is literal, allegory, metaphor or just simply a lie?" I have yet to get an answer, because there isn't one. Cherry-picking at its worst. If a Christian claims that Adam, Eve and the talking snake were just allegory, then what is to keep me from saying the same about John 3:16?

@GuyKeith EXACTLY . And thank u .

@Pralina1 And thank you, Sweetie, for sticking with me. I hope you are doing well. ?❤

@GuyKeith I am fine but this site is not useful or honest or real for me without u here often sir . We missing u . We , I don't have a mouse in my pocket , " we " stands for many of us boys and girls , we have noticed that u are not here often ?

@Pralina1 Do not despair, I am only taking a break. I will always be here for you ???

Are you serious?

@brentan These verses, taken literally, and the verses state that they must be, totally pulls out the rug on apologetics. They state that all verses are divinely inspired and must be taken literally. The verses are horrific and explain things like the recent shootings, snake handlings and the fundamentlist religious cancer that is destroying free-thought and fomenting hatred and intolerance. Serious, dude, if you are trolling me, fuck off. If you are not and really believe this garbage, then fuck off twice.

@GuyKeith I think you're far too angry to engage with at the moment.

@brentan And I think that is one of the worst deflections ever. Are you a peek-a-boo Christian, leaving the door open just in case? I'm saying that the Bible, as written, cannot be defended as a moral guideline. Defend it if you can, but don't tell me what my emotions are.

You've gone off on a tangent. I was willing to discuss the two verses. You told me to fuck off. I said I would.

@brentan I said "If you are trolling me". I guess this answers the question.
