I answered with a no to one question, and a yes to the other. Nothing ambiguous there!

I think that I know what you were getting at with that answer, but it is still a little vague.

I always kind of figured that God existed and the Bible was merely one of mans attempt to explain God. So some parts of the Bible were close to the truth, other parts were off the deep end, and other parts were complete fiction.

However I was also a mythology buff -- Greek mythology in particular, but I also liked the Arabian nights stories and Roman and Egyptian mythology. I was surprised to find that some of the Egyptian mythology seemed to parallel the Bible. For instance the story of Osiris seems similar to the story of Jesus, and there are a number of Egyptian stories about Kings and men being killed -- and then later rising from the dead. It is a common theme in Egyptian mythology.
