I am a literalist. [ … some more statements contradicting that you're a literalist before changing subjects.]

Good grief.

Look, this really isn't worth all the work to go around in circles and end in a Wack - A - Mole - forgetting the original argument that you started with me.

You seem incapable of, or at least highly resistant to, even clarifying and agreeing on terms.

I ask that in the in the future, you please don't ping me to pick an argument unless you have one that you really really think is good and has been thoroughly throught through, at least enough to stick with to some conclusion.

You just don't seem able to accept the conclusion. You appeared ready to pounce on things like people being literal sheep, Christ being a gate, etc., and were stopped in your tracks when I told you that I am a literalist unless the parable, or riddle, or metaphore speaks for itself. You seem not interested in the literal parts of the Bible. Like Genesis, which your Bible study group is studying right now. The CC doesn't take Genesis literally. Or Exodus. Or anything that questions RCC doctrine.

If you get stuck in the mire of your own church's false doctrines, don't put the blame on me, telling ME I haven't thought it through. It's your Church that hasn't thought it through. And they've had 2000 years to get it together..
