Several people across multiple threads have explained why Dereds doesn't think that Christians are committed to a literal interpretation of the bible?
Fascinating. However, I'll still ask individuals what they think if that's ok with you.

Not at all, it's stated quite clearly in the bible, I've already provided relevant passages, perhaps you missed them. That many choose to interpret those passages differently ( many, but not all, as you point out) is exactly what I'm exploring here.

I haven't been corrected, I've simply been presented with alternate viewpoints. Given that in your entire post you said nothing at all that advanced the discussion and instead spent all that time just attacking me, I'd say that you're the one most likely to be acting trollishly (new adverb, like it?).
Now, I'm genuinely not interested in this type of exchange so unless you have something worthwhile to contribute, we're done. PM me if you have more personal attacks to make. Don't try to derail the thread with them.
