Yes, the bible contains allegory. Lots of it.

Not likely as much as you think considering that much of it is historical accounts in nature.

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

On what do you base your Christianity? The Bible? Cause that's where mine lies. But if you consider that some wayward microcosmic variety, then what is the criteria that you use to determine one's Christianity, including yours?

Now for the other question, which you evaded answering.

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?)

Like the accounts that are explained by the vapor canopy, fountains of the deep, and hydroplaning continents? And vegetarian T-Rexes?

And I’m a Christian; just not the cult variety. Yours is a rather exclusive club, though.
