" It is much more apparent that all the different views have their values and validity, their small piece of knowledge of the infinite mystery, and not just one. "

It is hard to determine if one agrees or disagrees with your statement,as its logical construction is faulty.

>You say that each interpretation is a small piece of the infinite mystery (singular), which implies that there is one literal truth and we perhaps don't have a complete grasp on it. Yet, you also state that only one point of view of the Bible could not accurately reflect the divine mystery. Which is it, one literal truth or many co-existent truths?
>You then go on to say that all different views are valid...contradicting what you said earlier where you state that the literal interpretation is foolish and therefore invalid.
