Adam and Eve? Yeah shut up.
if you take the Bible as parable you don't have to believe in Adam's rib turning into Noah's Ark or whatever the fucking story is. I don't have a problem with Bible-as-parable because the only thing it asserts for certain afaik is that God exists. And I can't dispute that one way or the other. The problem I have is with people believing the Bible as literal truth; they are the true fucking idiots imo.
