This post is a waste if people actually comment the majority will bash the church and not offer any real insight into the accuracy of the interpretation. And when people do even if they quote verses there will be just as many verses that contradict whatever the ones are that they are quoting. Everyone knows their assholes but my point is is that it's just as easy to read the bible especially the old testament and come to the conclusion that wbp is right as it would be to say that they are dead wrong. It is culture that shapes religious belief not religious belief that shapes culture. So now because we realize it is wrong to hate homosexuals we must do some gymnastics and change our interpretation of the bible. It's the same with evolution. If you read the bible it does not allow for it even remotely say you take the creation story as a metaphor which makes no sense to me why you would. that extremely long list of begotten names puts the age of the earth in thousands of years not billions like it actually is. So the list is a metaphor too what possible value could a fictional geneailogy offer anyone. There is no meaning to it. That would be like me listing numbers 1 to a thousand and excepting you to learn a lesson from reading my list. Another topic lets say the creation story is a metaphor what is the meaning of the story. The only one I can deduce from it is that we as humans shouldn't seek knowledge we shouldn't strive to understand the world what a great message that is.
I've never read any bible, so I guess my comment would be useless, but I think all the comments here were at least somewhat insightful. (I didn't vote)
