Quote:I m actually a mainstream Christian as any other mainstream Christian here will tell you. I have no personal beliefs that conflict with that, and have expressed none here.You are telling that stories from bible are not literal, genesis is just a poem But original christians disagre.They believed it's the story of real creation since the begining of christianity.
Even today you are in the minority who accept evolution among christians. Most of the christians doesn't accept evolution. and that "nutjobs" holds the belief of original christianity.
You are sayin bible is not literal and they misunderstood it. Muhammed says some parts of bible is changed and they misunderstood it.They dont have a proof, you dont have a proof. I can't see any difference. So how do you consider your god same as "Original" christian god but allah is not? Allah is same with christian&judaism's god becouse it claims to be.(and believe me they are really really similar beliefs nearly every story in bible is in quran) its just that simple.
