On a side note, debating creationism vs "evolution" with someone who has never read the Bible is like debating Calculus with a preschooler. Its pointless.

Did you read the bible? So which revisions? Are you ready to talk about all revisions of the bible? NABRE? KJV?

Do you understand that the bible wasn't written in English? And the translations change the meaning?

Let's talk about Hebrew Bible in its original form.

I actually like the Gospel of Thomas quite a bit, it has all the teachings of Jesus about being nice to other people without so much of the incomprehensible miracles that are stated in the Gospels of Mark, Mathew, John, and Luke.

Do you know what Jesus sounds like to me:

when they said he could walk on water
what it sounds like to me
is he could float like a butterfly
and sting like a bee
literal people are scary, man
literal people scare me
out there trying to rid the world
of its poetry
while getting it wrong fundamentally
down at the church of "look,
it sez right here, see!
