[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a standard atheist trope, to claim that religious folks should be 100% literalists or else they are shallow fashion slaves (per 8:44).

That's a false choice, as multiple PPs have explained. But our friend at 8:44 doesn't want to listen, because she'd have to stop picking fights for a moment to pay attention, and maybe even find something new to argue about. And that's work, not the childish fun she wants.[/quote]

Thank you for stating this so clearly.[/quote]

Some atheists who were once fundamentalist may think all christians are 100% literalists, but many other denominations don't think that way.  They believe that some of the obvious wacky bible stories (talking donkeys, first man made of clay) are not factual -- they are just stories that helped ancient people understand the world they lived in.   But other things like Christ's resurrection and ascension into heaven -- those are true.  Those are tenets of Christianity.[/quote]
