You threw in there somewhere along the way that there was no evidence. Since there is, I was correcting you.

Your original post made claims that didn't make a lot of sense (have to either take everything in the Bible literal or otherwise it was up to individual interpretation).

Those are the only two options. It is either literally true, or it isn't. Special pleading that it isn't doesn't make it so.

You threw in there somewhere along the way that there was no evidence. Since there is, I was correcting you.

You presented no evidence that the Bible's claims are true and clearly didn't understand what I meant when I said there was no evidence (of a god or that a person named Jesus existed who was capable of magic). At best, all you can point to in the Bible that is accurate are places that are real and that maybe some of the people were real. 

You didn't answer my questions. I'll repost them:
What exactly is your goal in questioning my background and religious experience? Do you think that I would suddenly go back to Christianity if you could find that one theological argument that's just right?

To answer your question, I spotted the problem in your reasoning and questioned you on it. I have your answers and you are unwilling or unable to go deeper into the topic--so, that is probably it.
