well you either believe in talkings snakes , virgin births, walking on water and corpses coming to life and disappeariing into the clouds....or you don't.
..if you don't believe such , then how can it not be considered nonsense by you?
Simple minds caricature theological parables as a way of compensating for their lack of the capacity to acknowledge the inherent truth contained within the parables.
It interferes with their desperate need to feel superior.
I have the capacity to respect others by not denigrating their particular faith, tho I might not be of the same faith.
Parables for what? What is the creation account, God created the heavens and the earth, a parable for? What is the ressurection story, etc, etc, a parable for?
