I was referring to people who take it all literally. For example, that there actually was a talking snake and an Eve that actually came from a rib.
But the answer is still the same. It depends on who you're talking to. Bullet is a total paradox. He believes in creation and evolution. He believes the Garden of Eden actually existed and that Lucifer came in the form of a snake and tempted Eve. His beliefs are confusing to me sometimes!! But he has reasons for the way he believes and can explain them himself better than I can. It's all very confusing to me, but I have my own beliefs, too. I do believe in God, but I believe in evolution. I have had a prayer answered and I talk to God all the time.
It's a frustrating fucking topic, MF. Without being able to prove a thing, it makes me a bit crazy.
