Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?
RE: Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?
Problem is that there are lots of stories regarding Jesus; for instance, do you believe that Jesus said the following:

Simon Peter said to them, "Make Mary leave us, for females don't deserve life." Jesus said, "Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven." (Gospel of Thomas, 114)

If not, why not? It's in an ancient source, and, so, worthy of belief and faith?
