Listen if I’m just supposed to take the Bible as metaphorical truth then I’m already there, but seemingly a lot of people tell me I need to take it as literal truth

It's not just a metaphor, also not just a history text or a news report, but some mysterious third thing: a metaphysical story. It take place on Earth, but also transcends it. It tells us about the relationship between the Old and New Israelites and God, and it is a completely true story, in a way that no other story can be true.

I just take everything at face-value and extract deeper, profound meaning from it. Everything written in there was guided by the Holy Spirit and only the Truth can come from the Spirit.

To be honest, my experience was that I just ignored the BUT LITERALLY TRUE people and stopped feeling like my religion is a competition out out-literally everyone else, and now I generally accept the content as literally true. 😅

Being lectured at by the Jesus Is My Boyfriend crowd was such a turn-off, that it nearly made me give up on the whole thing. I'm just too cerebral for that.
