If the genesis is allegorical, could the god mentioned within be allegorical too?
I have never received a satisfactory answer to this.
And this leads to another questions. What is the algorithm that is used in order to determine which parts are allegorical and which parts are literal?
Seems there are at least as many algorithms in use by Christians as there are sects.
