That Christians and magic book are not describing beings or events, but some oblique concept of meaning in a story.
OFC, you can’t actually believe that and be a Christian. Par for the course with you, huh. Third time I’ll have to politely request that you tighten your shit up, lol.
Let’s just cut to the chase, shall we? You’re not angling for any sort of anti-literalism. You’re looking for mistaken literalism.
You think the things described literally happened, just not the way described, maybe....except the Christ shit. That’s not a metaphor, that’s just the authors getting the details wrong in a literal account.
Every Christian recognizes that the meaning and truth of Christianity are one and the same.
While atheists such as yourself, only believe in meaningless truth. Truth absent of meaning.
