[b]I mean, the Bible clearly isn't meant to be taken literally.  If it was, there wouldn't be two, contradictory creation stories, would there?  It's a collection of books, written over a long period of time, that includes stories, poetry, proverbs, etc.[/b]  If you take it literally, you have to tie yourself into knots to make sense of it.

There also wouldn't be four different versions of the gospel, the accounting of the event that Christianity hinges on.[/quote]

Really?  I'd be more skeptical if there were 4 IDENTICAL accounts.  No two people see the same event in exactly the same way.[/quote]
There are significant differences between the accounts, who Jesus revealed himself to first and all of the implications of that, being one of them. If it's to be taken literally, one story must be true/factual. We aren't talking about perceptions of emotions here, where I agree accounts can differ, but facts.
