Whilst I'm glad there are many Christians who don't take the Bible literally, a. there are still many, especially in this country, who do and b. I've yet to hear any kind of a real explanation as to how we should determine what parts of the Bible are literal and what parts are not. It seems to me a rather convenient card that is pulled whenever any of the countless absurd parts of the Bible are being discussed--"don't take it literally!!"
Is the resurrection of Jesus literal, and if it is, how do you know?
