I don’t know about that, the point is that words can mean different things, and what matters is what the author intended.
We know that words can mean different things, how could you conceivably really think we need you to tell us that? I dare you to be more condescending (that means to talk down to people).
If the topic is what did or didn't actually happen, then what matters is what did or didn't actually happen, not what an author intended. When schools are teaching that Beowulf was real and fought dinosaurs, that's a question of what did or didn't actually happen.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
