* Tiberius slaps LukeMC for mentioning "God" like that but mostly for getting said "God" to bless the Queen, an unelected, resource wasting, enemy of true democracy.

Unlucky then lol

Of most forums I would have got it right

Greetings solarwave and welcome to the forum.

Do you take any of it literally? Or do you take it all metaphorically? Don't you think it would have been more practical for God to have just told the story exactly how it happened instead of being metaphorical to the point where many Christians have to play guessing games as to which parts are literal or not?

I take Genesis as metaphorical as well as Revelation (obviously).

I think its easy to tell which are literal and which are metaphorically based on what science can tell us.
