Open Discussion...The literal and figurative style of the Bible

There is a discussion that's been taking place for many centuries about the bible and what is literal, figurative, embellished, true or false. The secularists,atheists and theologians have been back and forth and the argumants from all quarters are pretty interesting. Some hope to expose the Bible as afraud and not the word of God while others want to show it's truth and undeniable divine influence. We'll add to the topic by having our own discussion here.
