The problem is you are an "unbeliever" making profound comments concerning the status of the Bible in the realm of religious and spiritual belief systems.

If you were the Pope, we could have a discussion where we at least understand the words in the same way, and we might arrive at some new understandings.

Unfortunately, you are not the Pope, I am not a Catholic, and we seem to share a totally different understanding of the terms required to effectuate discussion.

Irrelevant. What I believe does not change the fact that Christians believe the Bible is objectively true. They believe that Jesus died on the cross, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven. This they believe is objectively true.

No, you are dead wrong. Reality doesn't change because you are talking to one person and not another person.

"Unfortunately, you are not the Pope, I am not a Catholic, and we seem to share a totally different understanding of the terms required to effectuate discussion."

True. I, and the vast majority of Christians, believe that there is an objective reality that exists no matter what they believe. You believe that reality is whatever you wish it to be. There does seem to be no room for further discussion.
