No... I was being snide.

Then why was the first thing you did not a defence of your position but an attack on my 'lack of understanding'?
Quote: I'm totally open to any opinion. It is fact that the bible's purpose is not to present literal facts about history. What _is_ it's intent is theology. Yeah, if you suggest something else I'm afraid I've gotta pull out the joker card. How can't I? If I started quoting Lassie the dog on particle physics I'd hope that you would call me a twat.
You haven't shown being open at all, every time i've seen you talking about, like in the chat box with Amorpha for example, you came up with the exact same dismissive excuses you always do by claiming that her conclusion required more background knowledge.
Quote:You don't have to cherry pick... absolutely everything in the bible is primarily allegorical. That there may be literal accuracy or not is completely irrelevant to the actual message.
Did Jesus rise from the dead or not?
If yes then BY WHICH STANDARD do you decide the validity of the supernatural claims? - I have asked you that question numerous times over the last few months and have not once received an answer.

Your stupidity actually hurts my brain...
Existence is simply not nothing, therefore If he exists there is a God and if not then there is no god. If you claim that he doesn't exist then by definition you believe in nothing...
