Quote:My intention is not to debate the issue I just want to know: what is your objection to viewing Scriptures as conveying truths by means of allegory and symbol?
My only objection to it is that when debating scripture, the theist (Christian, usually) will take it all literally until something comes up that he/she does not like. At this point, it will be taken as non-literal and will be twisted beyond recognition.
