Listen "The Contortions of the Literalist Believer"
Episode Synopsis
I once spoke to a young woman whose father had just died in a bike vs. car accident. She told me that while her father had deep faith, she could not believe the "myths" in the Bible. She read to me from Matthew, about the faithful being able to move mountains. In this episode, we look at some of the Bible stories that are difficult to interpret literally, like the Creation story. We consider why the literalist view is actually harmful and not simply misguided. We consider the depth of the Bible and how a non-literalist view can indeed allow us to "move mountains".
