I'm asking that they back up their judgments with facts from history or with reasoned argument.
So then why are you in this thread that's specifically about autism and literal interpretations of the Bible?
I'll ask again, what does autism have to do with to do with this subject?
You're saying "nothing at all"...?
Then why did you say this:
Quote:It is an impression Acrobat and I get when people ignore the obvious: all literature -- in fact all language -- relies on non-literal expression.
What did you mean by that? Didn't you mean that you get the impression that maybe is someone is autistic when they're using a literal translation of the Bible? If not, what did you mean?
Also, who on this forum has ever suggested a 100% literal interpretation of the Bible? Please show me.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
