Nothing is wrong with figurative. But it's still is based in some kind of truth, or it would not be used figuratively. Of course I'm just talking about the bible here. I would not go as far as to say any writings by anyone would be so.
I just want to point out that bringing figurative writing up should not diminish the meaning of understanding the bible literally.
Really people...I'm not mad or cranky today. I'm just disagreeing on a debate forum. :) :) :) :) :)...standing on my head and :) :) :) :) :)...lol
