“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.

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

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?)

Does it bother you that your God is descended from a fictional character? (Luke 3:38)
