I do know God. I’m a Christian.

In the past you've said that you think the Bible is allegory.

Do you believe that Christ really lived and died a real death to save us from real sins and real hell? Have you chosen to accept His free gift of salvation and repented of your sin? (Except the sin of haughtiness, by your own admission?)

Proverbs 3:34 He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble.

James 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

1 Peter 5:5 Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

How can you claim to know God anyway, when He resists the proud and you've admitted yourself that you are proud?

“In the past you’ve said that you think the Bible is allegory.”

Yes, the bible contains allegory. Lots of it.

And I’m a Christian. Just not the wayward microcosmic variety where your allegiance lies.
