The Return of Archy the Cockroach
Archy On Fundamentalism
the christian fundamentalist belief that
the bible is literal truth
literal history
doesn t make sense
to me
either the bible was
written by fallible humans or
it was divinely inspired
if it was written
by fallible humans centuries
before the disciplines of what
even now is the soft
science of history
it won t be literal
history
if it was divinely
inspired it also won t
be literal history
jesus spoke in parables and
metaphors e g jesus said quote
the kingdom of heaven is in you
unquote
unless you re going to try
to convince me that there s
a physical kingdom somewhere
in my anatomy where
miniature cherubim and
seraphim live
you must admit that
jesus spoke in metaphors
so
assume that the bible
was divinely inspired
recognize that jesus
spoke in metaphors
who do you think
he learned it from
if the bible is divinely
inspired it is not
literal history
