will_alltogether Wrote:My own transition was much longer and less interesting, and involved realizing how damn much sense evolution makes and how it's a bullshit neo-christian copout to pick and choose which parts of the Bible you take seriously.
My parents are non-practicing Catholics that believe in evolution. I was talking to my dad about evolution and god and I told him the problem I had theologically: if Genesis isn't literal, then what the hell did Jesus die for? A metaphor? My dad doesn't dwell on these thoughts like I do and he didn't really see any solution.
I wish I could meet a Catholic that could tell me how it actually works out theologically... Anyways, nice story!
