Do you think jesus christ existed

[Belac Enrobso]

The bible May just be a nice work of fiction that envelopes themes of good morals and proper etiquette and lifestyle,

I mean c'mon, talking snakes, apples of knowledge, residing in the stomach of a large fish for three days, a goat with seven eyes and seven heads, machine like wheels in the sky accompanied by angelic creatures, a floating sword that swing sporadically to keep the unwanted out of the garden of Eden, a world flood that peaked to mountain tops in sea level, Earth being created in 6 days (which was in a reference of time that God perceives), one fish fed 2000, Jesus rising from the dead and exiting a cave that was sealed by a large boulder that must have weighed tons, all of these instances and more of the like are fictional literature due to the fact that all of these instances/things were used to symbolize either themes of the bible or to reinforce to the themes brought upon by the bible. I'll admit its a fantastic work of literature and it greatly influences western culture in a positive light. But it's Fiction, and many people sadly often take the bible too literally. Just visit a Pentecostal church in the Bible Belt (where I grew up, by the way) and watch how these people praise God. I've seen people shake on the floor as if they were having a seizure, only because they thought they were feeling the power or hand of God. I would love for the Bible, and other religious novels as well, to be integrated into the core curriculum of English and social studies classes in public schools. Children and teenagers could learn valuable literature skills such as symbolism from the bible and other religious works, as well as positive morals.

Any rebuttals?

I guess not...
Bitches.
