Welcome to the forum
If I need anyone's help to understand what a book from God is trying to tell me, then God has failed. He should really be able to do better. It should be instantly apparent to me how literal any part of it is supposed to be. And I should also be able to read the fucking thing without having it translated, so that it apparently loses some meaning. God should be able to write in a universal language or something. Or just beam the meaning right into my head, whatever.
If God needs the help of all these pinkos, running around telling us how awesome his book is, he's really not as powerful as people claim. All they are doing is trying to make themselves feel better about their belief. It would be a particularly stupid and vulnerable person who actually converted on the strength of this nonsense.
