- I know some religious people, believers, who do not think the events in the old testament really happened like described. They see them more like metaphors. Now I would still argue these are often gruesome metaphors that teach very dubious and quite inhumane lessons picturing a very vain and vengeful god, sure. But I don't feel one has to believe in raining grasshoppers to believe in god.
It depends on who you ask.
