Now we are talking about interpretive fiction. It very well could have been, but we can only go down the road after establishing that the story is not literal.

I'm sorry that you can't establish that the story is not literal.

That's not true. There are many creation stories in many different religions and cultures. Now why should I believe one over the other?

Sure I can. It has talking snakes, therefore it is not literal.

Are you saying that Adam and Eve performed surgery on a snake and made him talk? Now that is fiction.

I'm not saying Adam and Eve did anything. Is your brain opening up to alternatives?

Says who? You insist on trying to get me to say that the Bible is fiction.

What? That is just silly. The topic is "What's so fictional about The Bible?". Well, the first thing that comes to mind about what is fiction about the bible is talking snakes. Are you going to claim that everything fictional about the bible is off limits in a thread about what is fictional about the bible?

Again you are the one asking the question. Stop trying to blame the person who is answering your question with the question.

The bible has nothing to do with God.

Your responses indicate that your stance on the Bible is somehow absolute. You want answers to questions that cannot be answered, unless we think the same way. I am trying to leave you room to present something, and I won't resort to insults. I'll dismiss you as having nothing to provide but a false perspective, if nothing more.

Maybe you should present some of these documents in an effort to impress me. We both have access to the Bible apparently. Maybe what you have read somehow discounts creation entirely, who knows.

I haven’t been talking about my stance on the bible, other than the fact that the bible is a collection of stories mixed with some Hebrew government documents. That’s the truth.

You dodge my question.

I have already given you one example of how the bible is fiction; do I have to give you more? There is a lot more, but it is not needed.

You can’t prove the bible nonfiction by using the bible as your only evidence. That is circular logic.
