It’s a big book about a big God
I just watched the slate of GOP presidential candidates at their debate in Florida field a question from a citizen about whether they take every word of the Bible literally. It was interesting to watch the candidates who offered answers dance around the question and still strive to be forthright. Even Huckabee pretty much said that certain passages and stories in the Christian holy scripture can be interpreted as allegory. I did think he effectively brought that debate segment to closure by saying that we are still woefully short on compliance with the clear and simple teachings such as doing unto the least among us as we would to the Nazarene, and that the sticky points can wait.
