We can never seem to understand why you don't take the Bible for anything other that what it so blatantly looks like, so you have tho get into the details of it, pointing out problems and contradictions and just hoping we'll come to think of what you've been thinking all along: The Bible is fantasy, about on a level with the Quran and the Gilgamesh Epic. I mean, we might as well translate the Grimm brothers into the world's languages and say it was inspired by Rumpelstiltskin or something!I'd say this sums it up. I just can't see any reason to even care what it says other than on a literary level (obviously reading it is important to be well-educated in Western literature). The stories in it are so absurd that I have never even seen why so many people find them so important and ennobling. And it's one of so MANY fairy tales on offer. And none of you Christians can even agree on what it says or means anyway. To me, it's all just bewildering.
Is this kind of what you guys are thinking a lot of times? Or am I way off?
P.S. I'm not trying to mock what you guys are thinking, I just want to understand why you think that way.
