[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Biblical religions are not Biblical literalists. Very few are in fact, just the extreme fundamentalist sects.[/quote]

That's what happens when society evolves to the point where your bronze age text seems ridiculous. Instead of moving on entirely, every thing becomes allegorical  [/quote]

You are wrong. That is not what evolved. The allegory, was allegory when written. The poetry was poetry when written. The letters were letters when written. The genealogies were genealogies when written. The histories was histories when written, and as all histories, told from the point of view of the authors with their own interpretations and twists.

Yes, there are outliier fundamatalist sects who take very odd and unsupportable views of the text as literal truth. When you attack all religions as if they agree with these fringe people, you are the one who comes across as bronze age ignorant.[/quote]

DP.  Great so everyone except the fundamentalists agree none of it is true?  Did not know that.  Will adjust accordingly and glad we agree it is all untrue.[/quote]

You are being too cute by half. There are truths in histories, philosophies, letters, even in poetry, etc. etc. You are not going to be able to reduce the entire filed of theology into a one sentence disclaimer. But you seem disingenuous about this discussion, so not sure why I'm bothering. You can study this stuff without being 'religious.'[/quote]

Tell me which is which and how you tell the difference.  [/quote]
