      You think they taught me a single thing about other flavors of christianity? Education is not the point of church.

      Also “not taking it literally” and “the entire old testament part of the bible, the majority of the pages, are absolutely insane” are two very different things.

      I would challenge anyone saying otherwise to sit down and read it start to finish.
