So your interpretation is not in accordance with the Church's?

For example, someone is free to believe in the story of genesis literally, or allegorically. The overall message is that God is behind all of creation and that humans have free will and that we are called by God to resist temptation and take the moral path. Whether you believe that there was a snake and an apple, etc, is just details.
I'd rather try to nail Jell-O to the wall. I suppose this is exactly why Christianity has 40,000 splinters.
And that's one reason, but not the only one (getting back to the thread topic) that I assert that belief in the Christian god in no way means that morality is objective.
