Woo Hoo .... symbolism, alliteration, allegory and individual interpretation of the supposed gospel of "your lord", my my aren't we the ever imaginative one. Must be really a satisfying enterprise to take the literal words from the bible and manipulate them to suit your personal position. I can tell by your words you even seem validated and smarmy in having done so .... comme interessant.
Since you didn't really do anything more than talk circles around the extremely direct question I posed I'd say you seem a fine candidate for some sort of political office.
One potential problem I see though is your having to choose either the long held "god" figure or your newest favorite messiah replacement Big O.
Decisions, decisions
Here ya go. Rather than bore you and the other members of the short attention span theater who seem incapable of being able to read more than a sentence or 2 without feeling mentally challenged and whining about it here's a link that explains it better than I could anyway [video.google.com]#.
Though I'm not a big fan of the 2nd 1/2 of the show the parts regarding religion (all religions)/power/monetary manipulation etc. are certainly ones I'd be willing to go toe to toe with anytime you or any of the other god schmookers care to go a few rounds
Yes there is symbolism in the Bible, but it is not all symbolic, and I said nothing about the Gospels just the earlier parts of the Old Testament. And yes the Bible is to be interpreted by the individual. That is, we all have a personal relationship with God and his written word will mean something personal to each person who reads it. You can not take the Bible and read it as a scientific text; it is a religious text. Don't get the two confused. This can be difficult for some to understand.
By the way, I am not conflicted by my beliefs. I see science as the study of God's creation and not in conflict with it, and I am not alone. There are meny people who believe this, but you don't hear much about them. It makes much better press to have a conflict than coporation.
I was wondering if you would bring up The Movie Zeitgeist. It makes very extraordinary claims without giving extraordinary evidence to back it up. Instead they give half truths and lies. Here is a good link to someone who took the time to thoroughly check out the movie:
Conspiracy Science.
