  5. So where does he go from there? Jesus wasn't the 'actual' son of 'god'? He didn't 'actually', 'literally' rise up into 'heaven'? God didn't make the first person out of a pile of magic dirt and later cursed all people for a fruit-picking mistake that the first rib-made woman shouldn't have logically been responsible for in the first place if it was true -which it couldn't possibly have been???
    I just don't get how they have a 'religion' anymore when these non-science-hating, open-minded christians admit every critically important key event in the bible was not even close to being true!?!  At best you're left following the 'philosophy of Jesus' and this guy's title of 'Bishop' becomes just one more joke.
