See 61.
The problem with taking allegory to the extent that you do is that the Bible has no relevant meaning. You seem to be well educated... honestly that doesn’t always work in your favor.
Truth. Hard to find in the halls of Academia.
Reason. Even tougher.
Moral absolutes. Never darken the door.
If the Bible is not true in the least of its statements then none of it can be trusted. This leaves us to be free moral agents and the Word of God becomes nothing more than “An opiate to the masses.”
You can scream the word “Allegory” from the rooftops, but it means nothing if you neither wrote the Words nor walked with those who did.
