The fact that his work was decried as heresy might be indicative, lol. Not that it matters, since he still asserted that some portions of genesis were literal.
How do you decide between a demagogue using the rhetorical flourish of “and I think you would agree with me” and facts of history and demographics?
That’s beyond the scope of my ability to help you comprehend if the trouble you have is so fundamental. Lots of people say lots of things. Figure it out.
Moving forward, you are again and predictably mistaken. Your interpretation of Christianity can’t possibly be “wrong”. It’s yours. I’m noting only what has been made a public source of angst for the tradition. That you and others like you don’t realize the theological necessity of portions of genesis to be literally true.
I think it’s great that you interpret magic book as an allegory. Doing so, however, leaves Christ as allegory. This is something that atheists also accept. It’s emphatically not a Christian belief, lol.
You really do have to believe in a literal Christ....which doesn’t begin in new magic book, to be Christian. That’s what the word means.
