I'm willing to suspend judgement if you're telling me that was sarcasm. It's hard to tell on the internet, considering the number of people on the internet who still believe in Biblical literalism.
Speaking of which, why do you suppose the Earth seems so much older than the Bible would seem to indicate?
Also, just because I'm curious, what parts of the Bible do you think are metaphors (if any), and how does one tell which parts are metaphorical and which parts are literal?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
