@divegeester saidHere’s a talking cat while you’re waiting.
Let me know when he returns; I’ve got a metaphorical talking snake who wants to say hi.

From the comments section of the article:
“1974 Lindley St. incident
Worked in City Hall in 1974 in the data processing center managing the automated system of the records room of the Bpt. Police Dept. By that association we gained a copy of a written report by an officer who was present when the paranormal s*it hit the fan on Lindley St.. The most chilling account was when in his writing ‘and the cat said to the officer “How’s your brother Bill doing?, and the officer looked down and replied “My brother’s dead.” The cat then scowled “I know” swearing repeatedly at the officer then ran off. Other visual events in the report include a levitating refrigerator and an armchair that flipped over and could not be lifted back into place by the officers. One officer who witnessed it all took an immediate leave of absence having been that shaken by the experience. I today firmly believe these events took place in the home.”
@divegeester saidNo, you let US know when you've decided to stop taking people in this forum to task over absolutely nothing.

@suzianne saidI don't think the notion that everything in the bible is literal v the notion that not everything in the Bible is literal - is "absolutely nothing". It's odd that you do.

@suzianne saidJospehw (aka SecondSon) is a “conversational coward” as someone else has observed. He poses and flexes what he calls his “spiritual muscle” and yet lacks the nads to intellectually face up to what he claims he believes. Which is that “everything in the bible is literal”.

This week, with much gnashing of teeth, he slipped up and acknowledged to someone that the talking serpent in the garden of Eden was a metaphor.
He was challenged on this by multiple posters and immediately flip-flopped to claim “it’s a metaphor for something literal” and there was much laughter.
He hasn’t been seen in here since.
It’s amusing.

@divegeester saidI missed that. Which thread, please?

@moonbus saidjosephw hasn’t been seen in here discussing the words allegorical and literal again since. No doubt he will return with freshly-coined self-serving "non-conventional" definitions at some point and perhaps throw in a few barbs about the intellectual impairment suffered by people who don't agree with him.
@FMF
Ta.
(I did not contribute to that thread and could not bear to read the whole thing now; still, interesting reading, on page 12 anyway.)

@moonbus saidI must, I must, I must. Yes. You are right!
You must realize how difficult it must be for a literalist to confront the fact that snakes don't talk, or that seven specimens of every species on the planet could not be fed for several months even if they were somehow squeezed on board a boat.
