Well said! I got into your work through being an atheist and FB, but I have taken Zoom philosophy courses on the gospels with my old philosophy professor in later years! We can learn from these things. One book I am reading about pre-Christian times talks about how many people took things metaphorically, which I can dig, unlike some of my relatives who are hateful "Christians" and don't seem to be reading the Bible at all. Much is just ancient wisdom passed down like other books of the times, which were not literal either. People get so mad when presented with chances for growth sometimes!
