In response to Caryn - full post here

I've also encountered this a few times, I find it slightly humorous and slightly bothersome. I mean, as you pointed out, we ought to be skeptical of our own religions, or lack thereof. And as Matt pointed out, people tend to think that one must believe the stories and metaphors to be literal. This, too, I think, is strange because in my opinion, the stories in Genesis and all the miracle stories are not more believable than the stories of the Greek gods. The belief in the stories of the Greek gods is mostly lost in time, but there is reason to think that the same thing may happen to Christianity.
