Misconceptions about the Bible

[Jehanne]

@Jehanne

You're placing yourself above the so-called authority of your Bible, by deciding for yourself what is literal and what is not.

Of course I am. Sort of. Who is the so-called authority of the Bible? But the question remains, which is more accurate.

The Bible is a collection of historical literature that must be understood in its cultural, political, social, economic, etc., contexts. Your OP does none of that.
