I never was a literalist Christian when it came to scientific contradictions, as I had knowledge of evolution and astronomy by age 6 or 7. And I grew up in the UCC Church which was a non-literalist approach of Paul Tillich. I left the church at age 18 but with an enormous appreciation of religions in general. But as I grew older and discovered how the the majority of the religious population clung to literalism it has disturbed me.
On the other hand I have been also disturbed by atheists who are historically illiterate, and don’t understand the underlying philosophical
questions of the Bible.
I would like our culture to move on from Biblical literalism, but I think we are as a culture a long way away from that because we have made very few advances in ethical ontological and phenomenological philosophy, aka that unfalsifiable stuff.
For the folks in the comments section who need to hear this.
Running down religion from a place of superiority makes you seem like the person at the kids birthday that is saying magic isn't real and giving away the clowns secrets to the kids. You're missing the point
I'm an agnostic. Atheism implies that one knows there isn't a god. but nobody can prove or disprove the existence of god (which is the basis for agnostic belief). So, religion and atheism are both 2 opposite extremes that doesn't seem logical to believe in based on the previous sentence.
Richard Dawkins is stupid plain simple
Love the DNA tie Richard D 👌
