“You can’t look at the decision to go into Iraq apart from, you know, what happened on Sept. 11. It was not a religious decision,” he said. “I don’t view this as a war of religion. I view this as a war of good, decent people of all faiths against people who murder innocent people to achieve a political objective.”
Well ... he's right. Some things in the Bible are, of course, literally true (archaeology can prove it).
But that's not generally the case. A parable, for instance, is almost by definition not "literally true." Nor would one expect a Psalm to be "literally true."
The Bible is simply too complex and varied to label it as being entirely true, entirely allegorical, or entirely anything else.
I agree with the President. :-)
