MODERATORS
There are two creation narratives in the book of Genesis, and both are considered to be historical allegories.
Can we really handwave away the whole Adam and Eve thing though?
If we do, then what did Jesus die for?
The original sin. Which in most myths is acquiring knowledge or attaining sentience.
The new motto for Vegas -- if you don't enjoy yourself, he died for nothing.
The whole rib thing is likely just a PG version of the original...
Humans are one of the only mammals lacking a penis bone, men and women both have 24 ribs each...
There's only one bone that human males lost, and that was the dick bone. So if Eve was made from a bone, she's the root cause of male impotence because it's a lot harder to keep a boner without a bone when you're trying to bone.
Truly throwing a bone attack there are we
How convenient that the "word of god" (as many churches describe the bible) is so open to human interpretation.
But the ability to interpret it is also flexible.... Sometimes it's to be taking verbatim, sometimes it has to be interpreted (but only by the right people, of course)
I have to warn you that some believe these are no allegory.
Are we still talking about Catholics?
Nope. Not that I'm aware. To be fair no Catholic I have met in ages is nearly as extreme as these guys. But from some of my interactions via social media...I have seen them.
