Stunning and completely -thorough- attitude. They not only believe that they know the truth, they believe that they know the truth -better- than anyone else by simple virtue of being themselves. No amount of showing them, plainly and incontrovertibly, that they are incorrect in these assumptions will change their opinion, they refuse to acknowledge any misapprehension on their part whatsoever, and they will treat you with derision and dismissive contempt for having had the audacity to remind them that they are human, and therefore fallible (in addition to many other things)...... which each of them will gladly pay lip service to, but show by their actions that they have simply said whatever was required to get you off their backs so they can go back to being the pompous assholes that they are..
They are arrogant and certain in face of contrary fact. They clearly believe that they are, by faith and affiliation, superior to everyone and everything that is or ever was on this rock in all matters of truth and value.

Yes, it does..you claimed that you were free to interpret the OT (genesis specifically) as allegory. You are not.
You are not free to interpret any of that as allegory (as explained by your church, by your pope, and by your catechism..unambiguously), and because you are not free to interpret any of that as allegory, you are plainly wrong. Further, because you cannot interpret any of that as allegory, any contradictory or mutually exclusive proposition relative to any of those immovable doctrines -cannot- be held to be true.
You also claimed that you knew the position of the catholic church better than I. You do not...again, as explained to you by your church, your pope, and your catechism.
Deny your church or deny my claims (and in so doing....deny your church, lol)...but pick one and stick with it..this is all I ask.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
