I just don't get it

And again that is your personal watered-down version of faith that is not held by most people, who accept instead a personal god who intervenes in the world. I mean are we seeing all believers as fundamentalists or scriptural literalists, and that we neglect the “strong and sophisticated” versions of faith held by liberal theologians? But it's the same problem with "liberal" believers that accept scientific stuff like evolution saying “The Bible is not a textbook of science.” but that is a rationale for believers to pick and choose what they consider really true in scripture. You know "I'll just believe the 'good' stuff." Because Bible (and therefore Christianity) is clear about other religions that they are wrong and people of other faiths are not even human beings, you don't get to choose what you believe you have priests and holy book tell you.

Thanks for telling me how a christian should believe and interpret the bible. How can God be "personal" if he doesn't talk to us? I view a "literal" interpretation as interpreting the bible as it was meant to be interpreted. And by the way, I'm not a liberal christian. I think you guys want us to use a wooden literal interpretation.
