Because, you're claiming that Catholics are required to believe in the literal interpretation of the story of Genesis. Which is a 100% completely false statement. Most Catholics believe the story in Genesis is allegory/symbolism for God being behind all of creation, and for human beings to have free will and have the ability/intelligence to choose between good and evil.
Hi CL. Can you tell me where you (or other catholics) draw the between when to take it (the bible) literal and when to consider them guiding stories? Or is this on a person to person and biblical case by case basis?
Are there parts that always need to be taken literal as far as catholics are concerned?
Thanks
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
