You make some beats, I lay down some dank verses, we are good to go.

Whatever "literal" means.  I believe it is "literal", but that doesn't mean I believe it doesn't have contradictions.  I don't like the three options Gallup gave.  Pah.

That is a very interpretive question. I guess for most people it is read as "the Bible is 100% true and accurate and everything in it should be followed as gospel". In that sense I can see how the number would be smaller; 20-30%.

The world was created in a week (no dinosaurs)...talking burning shrubbery...a wooden ship large enough to carry a pair of every animal in the world?
Literally...?

That would be traditional, not literal.  Literally, the Bible does not affirm a young earth, the voice came out of the bush, and the flood could be local.  Stupid traditionalists can't even read their own book...

Sorry.  I'll try to be nicer.

On a completely different note, I learned that I can change my Facebook language to "English-Pirate".  This has brought me great joy!

Wow we'd gone almost 10 days without someone bashing religion.    I need to reset the counter back to zero

Wow. I need some of that talent to rub off on me right about now.
