To those who believe Bible is not literal...

RE: To those who believe Bible is not literal...
Personal experience in religion in my opinion is not a valid method of confirming the falsity or veracity of ones religious beliefs. Emotions when applied together with cultural beliefs and religious superstitions can cloud the mind and easily lead one into irrational and illogical thinking. As in love, when someone is in love with someone else if a person gets his "feelings" hurt he will most likely forgive his other half for almost any offense in order not to lose her/him. No matter how harmful the relationship may be he continues to forgive offense after offense because his reasoning is clouded by his emotions.

Many other religious practitioners of many other faiths that are non Christian claim to have experiences of a divine nature. I think that experiences within a religious context have the same effect no matter what religion you belong to, and in this context cannot be trusted.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
