Jesus Christ would have wanted a decent nail puller.

Only according to John. In the Letters and the others Gospels he was tied to the cross, so he would have wanted a good pair of scissors.

First place my brain went reading this thread...

"Siri, play 'Zombie' by the Cranberries."

I met someone who claimed to believe that every word in the Bible is true and that it describes events that all actually happened. How do such people explain inconsistencies like this?

I think about this idea a lot. In my mind, I thought it was obvious to everybody that most if not all of the Bible was meant to be allegory or instructional. Clearly I don't know a lot of fundamentalist Christians.... How do they account for different translations and versions of the Bible?

That was me when I was much younger. Basically I used a lot of cognitive dissonance. Yes, I was a biblical literalist. It was the word of God and the word of God needs to be perfect, not allegory not metaphor.

Would love to tell people I left because of some profound revelation but it didn't happen that way.
