[QUOTE="DogmaHunter, post: 72128410, member: 346237"] The point is that all literature and mythology is valuable in at least a historical sense. And the same can be said about movies and other forms of art. I can look at Star Wars and reflect on the "moral of the story" and the social implications of the conceptual idea behind Darth Father being Luke Skywalker's father. But that is something entirely different from taking those stories and assuming their relation to reality is anything other then reflecting/communicating personal ideas on society, mankind, etc. Because what you are doing is entirely different. You do the equivalent of watching star wars and then insisting that The Force is real, or that the story is dramatized but that there really IS a galactice empire with an evil emperor. Etc. cfr: your insistence on taking the flood story at least partially literal. I have no problem with seeing the bible (or any other religious book) as important literature, as those books in a real way determined our socio-cultural background. But that doesn't mean what you want it to mean. [/QUOTE]
