No, it's disagreeing with your interpretation of scripture, which you like to characterize as an "attack." And no one here is claiming that "the scriptures" are an allegory; you are the one who misrepresents the views of people like Archivist who are restricting their observations to a few books of the Bible. Moreover, you have no idea what Jesus thought about the possibility that the Genesis stories are 100% accurate literal history, so it is really you who is making unjustifiable assumptions about Jesus' opinion.Wow went off the rails on that one. First of all claiming the SCRIPTURES are not true but are allegories when Jesus and the apostles believed them to be true and actual events IS attacking the scriptures. It's claiming Jesus and the apostles were wrong. That is attacking scripture.
Yes, I would probably goad you that way myself, if I was an atheist--but it would not mean that I took it seriously in forming my own opinion.Secondly I have heard and read athiests who say just that. I say the Bible says such and such and they say why should we believe that? Even Christians don't believe what the Bible says. Why should we?
