small actual religious rant. cw religion

ARGH! i get so annoyed at people who take the bible's words as literal facts! its an ancient ass text that was translated poorly into english when it was translated. no one who had any hand in it is alive today and no one who knew those who did is alive. you cannot possibly tell me, weather you are catholic or not or if you hate catholics, that you actually think the words are suppose to be taken literally!

i don't care if you are a priest or not, you are not doing your religious studies properly if you are reading literal fact from the bible! sure there are some documentation of historic events, but overall its a huge pile of analogies, metaphors, and parables! they are meant to be analyze and thought upon! saying that they are meant to be taken literally shuts down any good the text could do, and at the worst it makes you easier to manipulate or others easier to manipulate.

God gave us brains for a reason so USE IT!
