Nothing wrong with making meta jokes , I ' m just sick of the guy who turns up 5 minutes later , says meta then leaves . It ' s literally the same as saying this to something you agree with . <| sep |> You said that weird . <| sep |> Your view would be that yes , it can be read as a metaphor , but it can also contain truths like how big of a boat you need to fit every animal on the planet . No it would not . The three statements I made that started this conversation are we are made by God , sin separated us from God , God created us in His image . In what way do those statements change if Genesis is allegory ? Those would still be the points that the author was making . <| sep |> I do Sanda once a week , it has a lot of the elements you ' d find in kung fu but it has the practical fight elements of kickboxing . Muay Thai isn ' t bad either .
