[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I went to Vacation Bible School with my child this last week.  One of the stories that was told was Genesis.  Are there denominations which do not take the bible literally?  The person teaching the bible lessons talked about what happened on year "day".  OK let's say I can accept that each "day" was actually billions of years and that the bible tells stories that are not literally true.  Is there a denomination for me?

Yeah, that whole loving God and loving your neighbor bit is sooooo outdated.[/quote]

and the part about slavery and women being quiet in church and not wearing garments made form different fabrics and the talking donkey and....[/quote]

I think the donkey isn't in the bible
