Fortunately, the vast majority of Christians accept and appreciate the allegory in scripture.

Where the text states there is allegory - indeed. Where the text is historical - no. So you worship a fictional god - most interesting.

Despite your dwindling number, though, you do have a small but measurable deleterious impact on the reputation of Christians; you make us appear simple-minded.

I think the 'simple minded' are those who cannot discern allegory from historical writings. Disparagers of scripture like your self omit half the evidence. That is the whole passage in the bible and your dogma based on a hit- and- run calculation of the type that would make any undergraduates flunk their exam. Ask Dr Math forum displays the idioticy of such a lame attempt.

But since you know it all, cite the passage where it states that the diameter and circumference measurements were of the same part of the sea (crickets)

Since you demand God to give the "correct" answer for pi = why are you insisting on a false statement that pi=3.14

Since you know it all, please explain the hebrew involved in the description, perhaps you can even find a picture to describe the basin - one that matches your 'allegorical' description. This should show just how well you do on reading comprehension.

” I think the ‘simple minded’ are those who cannot discern allegory from historical writings.”

What part of Genesis do you think represents historical writing?
