@bigdoggproblem saidMost Christians will "believe" in stories that fit their belief system, and discard stories that don't.
Of the supernatural events recorded in the Bible, which do you believe actually happened?
(It doesn't have to be a list. Just one or two of the most noteworthy is fine.)
Dive, as an example, will discard all stories relating to hell.
@chaney3 saidWhat "justifies" this or what "jusrifies" that is a matter for you. But it'd be silly if you think that saying a story is allegorical or metaphorical is the same as saying it is not true.
A metaphor doesn't justify the crucifixion of Jesus.
Something must be real, right?
Lest God is petty.
