Better than that, I did challenge him on it by stating, "You told me the Bible was the word of god and now you're telling me god is a metaphor. Where does that leave the Bible?" And his answer was, "Yes, of course, much of our discussions within the church are to do with interpreting metaphors the Bible presents..."

He was Dutch and I was concerned that maybe he didn't have a firm grasp of the English...  Big Grin Talk about blind faith...
