Theists: what does your god want for you?

[Whateverist]

You are assuming Genesis, which has two accounts, is meant to be taken literally.

So how non-literal are you willing to go? You get 10 points here for recognizing your ultimate agnosticism even if you decide to go with your hunch your secret friend is God. If you're willing to allow that the bible isn't entirely literal (8 points), do you have an idiosyncratic method for deciding which areas are allegorical (-3points) or do you believe there are easily ascertained criteria for knowing the difference which good theology can make apparent (-8points)? What's your score?

There are many approaches people have taken to understand Genesis. Genesis, like abiogenesis and what came before the big bang, is a mystery.

5 points for allowing for undifferentiated mystery which the bible doesn't render obvious.
