DAVID: The bible is to be interpreted, not rigidly translated from the ancient words.

> And so if the bible as Tony himself interprets it is anti-evolution, we can say it's not anti-evolution because it doesn't matter what the bible says, we can simply make up our own version.

> BBELLA: In other words, dhw, the Bible is a perfect example for Quantum Reality. What is an agnostic to do with that? Lol

> Laugh with you, BBella! According to David, the bible means what you want it to mean. So an atheist can tell us that whenever the bible mentions God, it's simply a figure of speech, an image, a fiction, a fairy tale. What is a theist to do with that? Lol
> 
> In all seriousness, though, we need to agree what level we wish to discuss things on. If the bible, like reality itself, is merely what we want it to be, all discussion becomes pointless.-As goes the way of everything in Quantum Reality. Everything, including decent discussions, eventually find their way into it's black hole. Which is probably the real reason why Tibetan monks do not speak often. But as you say, dhw, it's also a good reason why ground rules need to be established; so to have a decent discussion that stays within the orbit of agreed upon realities.
