Thusly I find a thread full of christians arguing about the correct interpretation of their fairytale somewhat..... surreal.
But never mind me, do carry on with your deconstruction of mythology.
Before you can evaluate, you must first construe. 'Correct' interpretation should be important to anyone who wants to evaluate the Bible. Not to say that anyone who wants to evaluate it must properly construe every verse, but rather that you should take the time to properly construe the particular verses you do evaluate.
Criticism without understanding is pretty weak, right?
“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”
