That isn't *my* argument, but a refutation of your statement that "all modern Christians enjoin biblical literalism."

Overgeneralizations are bad form, unless you use them merely to give a "broad brush" intro to a topic.

Again, I'll reply later, probably tomorrow.

Cheers!

...oh, and Merry Christmas!

I misspoke. I should have said "all the Christians I know who are in the community I once was associated with". I'm sure you understood my meaning, but picked at my wording anyway.

When you descend into legalisims and sentence analysis, your argument is dead.
