I think it's a document that was written by Romans at a much later time. To that end, I think everything in the Christian bible is trash, but I'm willing to tolerate any interpretation that a Christian holds provided that it doesn't turn them into ideological fundamentalists. 

But maybe you were trying to ask me if I see any of the Jewish bible as allegory? Of course I do. Our Talmud clearly states that much of it is worded in such a way that it can only be taken allegorically.


No, I wasn't asking you about reading the Jewish bible allegorically because I already know you do.  I was wondering if the xtian poster, Godcreated, read any of his bible allegorically.  Or perhaps he thinks it was perfectly created back then in such a way that by various flawed interpretations it came to mean in English precisely what God had in mind all along.  I suppose if one is a fundamentalist, one just avoids thinking about it too hard at all.

 There is allegories in the scriptures they're called parables. Most of scripture is real, actual and factual, inerrant. being a fundamentalist is the only way that the Bible makes sense.

I know you were generalizing. That's why I said you used the faulty generalization fallacy. It wouldn't matter even if you were specific. It's still fallacy to say "I have encountered many atheists so I know exactly what this one's motives are". You don't know their motives because they did not tell you and you are not them.

My generalization wasn't faulty and I did not say anything about encountering atheist, it is what they have posted to me and other Christians here. You may not be able to read between the lines when people are trying to hide things but I can.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
