The most important reason anyone is an atheist

[Doubting Thomas]

Does that say all scripture is literal historical fact?

So you're admitting that the bible isn't literal historical fact? Are you sure you want to go down that path? Because once you start claiming that certain passages are metaphorical, how do you determine that all of it isn't metaphorical? Who gets to judge which parts are metaphorical and which parts are literal?

Ah, I see. The good parts are literal, while the embarrassing inconvenient parts are metaphorical.
