What I've never understood is why fundamentalists are convinced that the correct way to read the bible is as a contract between men and god. Otherwise, why take every small detail literally? There are lots of other ways to use the written word. To read the bible allegorically can yield a few good bits, though granted you have navigate large tracts of begetting and other sleep inducing passages. But to read every word as applying in this moment to whatever ails you .. that's just ridiculous.
