    You really seem to be willing to generalize. I was one of those people and I did put in the leg work. Very nearly went into some sort of theological training as my career. Lost my faith before that, got a real job. It was not an allegory for me it was the word of God. So yes I studied the heck out of it.

    And no you don’t get to do that. The Bible contradicts itself. Taken as a whole does not work. Sometimes the contractions are found within the same book.
