HelpRe: They were names before the Bible came along. nt
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
Yep and there are a lot of people especially in the US who take the Bible to be literal. The number supposedly keeps growing. Through history there have been generations where literal believers of the Bible were the majority and generations where the majority felt the Bible was more about metaphor. We are currently in a time where the majority of Christian's in the US believe the Bible to be literal.
Most Catholics I know view the Bible to be metaphorical and most of the Christian's I'm close to are Catholics. Though I know more people who believe in God but are not Christian's, Jew's, or Muslims. Some of them actively dislike organized religion but some of them just don't find it necessary. The PNW has a lot of people who are not apart of an organized religion.
