It's routinely stunning to me that religions criticize the fundamentalists within their own ranks. If you really think that your special book is the revealed word of God, shouldn't you be following that thing to the letter?
These hot takes are growing so tiring. Every atheist thinks he's the first one, and no one else has thought of the idea.
You can believe in a religion and believe that certain parts of an overall holy book were either made up as allegory or mistranslated. That should not be stunning to you.
So basically, everything you like in the text is cherrypicked as "real," while all the stuff you disagree with is "mistranslated." How incredibly convenient for you.
