Post 2: Is the Bible true?

IMO the Bible contains many truths, particularly in the New Testament. Jesus had much to teach us about living as loving human beings. Other religious texts also have much to teach us about this. In taking any of them literally, people miss out on deeper symbolic messages that they contain. A 2,000 year old text written for a different culture living a different way of life contains some anachronistic rules that can cause problems when people today try to stick to them.

While there may be some interesting points to discuss here, I don't think this topic has much to do with creationism or evolution and is probably more suited to the Bible forum. I'm going to make a guess, though, that while people are avoiding having to deal with evidence for the geologic column and against a global flood, they'll quite happily flock here to a thread which has little to do with science.
