I actually don't enjoy arguing about this stuff but I'm supposed to inform people about God.

Not even convert, just make sure people aren't misinformed.

Well you suck at it and God should fire you.

Oh well.
Got to do homework.

No it's not.

It's letting people have a chance to convert.

No it's not.

Well assuming his version of misinformed is not believing the bible, then informing them is getting them to believe in the bible. So it kind of is converting.

No misinformed is like, taking the bible literally rather than trying to get meanings out of stories.

Dismissing people's arguments before you have even seen them just because they'd require you to change your view of things is ignorance.

Try reading the Bible and then go to church every Sunday for a few weeks with your view as a Christian, come back, and then I'll read your arguments.

So God does not literally exist he is just a symbol that represents something? I think you don't know how your religion works, you are sounding awfully atheist.

There's a thing called interpretation, and a part of it's process is to differentiate between literally true content and metaphorically constructed content. The same goes with any other literature that exists in the world.

The opposite of literal is figurative, not metaphorically. Something cannot be literal and figurative at the same time.

Oyeah, figuratively, that's what I meant (although they are synonymous, lol). My point is, the bible is both literal and figurative at some of it's parts. This is what bible scholars try to figure out. You don't take the bible as a literal as a whole, and at the same time you don't take it as figurative as a whole.

How did you get that out of what I said?  I can't even take the time to argue now.
