Actually, with the premise of an omnipotent God, my reason is just fine with resurrections and other miracles. I believe these things literally happened and were not Biblical metaphors

That argument carries about as much weight as Mohammad's claim that God dictated Koran to him word by word. A psychotic can claim with equal conviction that he is Napoleon, FK. It's all quite "reasonable" when you dispense with reality.

Things just don't happen the way they are described in the Bible, some people's fancy notwithstanding.

FK: "Actually, with the premise of an omnipotent God, my reason is just fine with resurrections and other miracles. I believe these things literally happened and were not Biblical metaphors."

I'm not sure what to say to this. What does God's omnipotence mean to you? Does it mean that God "CAN" do anything, but He would never do anything that would normally not make sense to us? Is it your understanding of science that prevents you from believing the literalness of the Biblical stories?
