(48,181 posts)the alleged parting of the Red Sea is credible.
These same people insist that the lack of any historical record or archeological evidence of an actual enslavement of the Jews in Egypt is no reason to discount the biblical fairy tail.
But they aren't literalists. Or something.
Actually they aren't "literalists" in the context of the theological debate over inerrancy, over the claim that all the text in the bible is emitted from the big guy itself. Those people would be better referred to as inerrantists, only that isn't a word. Somewhere around 1/3 of US Christians are in that category.
Instead the vast majority of abrahamic believers accept some subset of the steaming pile of goofy shit in their foolish books as "real" and then attempt various intellectual deceits to explain the rest.
