too bad evangelicals take every freakin' word literally.

oh so what you're literally saying is that every evangelical is trying to cross a patch of water right now?

i'm just saying that i don't understand why the evangelicals take the bible's stories to be literal. they're obviously figurative.. and there's nothing wrong with that.

one can easily have faith in god if the bible's stories are just figurative. the bible, as well as all of the other holy books of the world, should be used as a guide for morality...

i just really don't think the stories should be taken literally and it makes me roll my eyes when i see these evangelicals making masses of the mentally blind believe in them in the wrong way.
