[quote=Anonymous]Just because VBS teaches the Bible stories doesn't mean the adult members of the church believe them literally. We go to a very liberal congregation of a liberal denomination (PCUSA) but Sunday school and VBS still teach the Bible stories to the little kids. They don't get into the fact that they could be metaphors, lost in translation, inspired by God but written by men, etc. I don't have a problem with that. I want my child to know the stories and believe them even if "believe" takes on some subtleties and complexities later on. Bible stories are important literary and cultural touchstones too.[/quote]
