Because I’m making a general comment about a belief that is stupid. I can’t address every single persons personal interpretation. So I make my comments about the idea of “God” that is most widely accepted.
Most widely accepted idea of God? And how, pray tell, did you come to the conclusion that this is the most widely accepted idea of God? Did you read any polls, any statistics which gauged how many Christians were hyperliteralists? Or is this just you making an assumption based on Hollywood Christianity and all the hardcore fundagelical loudmouths who go out of their way to draw attention towards themselves?
I’m basing it on life experience. That it’s the idea of God I used to believe in. I’m basing it off of knowing that most of my friends have some variation of this kind of belief and so do 90% of all the people I talk to. And again I don’t recall saying that Christians are all hyper literalist. My comment was about the general belief in a god. I made mention of some bible stories but all I said was it was stupid for people to believe them. I didn’t say that all Christians did believe them literally.
All my comment meant was that there is no evidence that any sort of God exists and it astounds me that certain people still believe a lot of the bs stuff in the bible.
