Genesis

Why couldn't they at least hire an artist who could draw for those fucking comics?

It's hard to argue that Bible is right if you have to claim that parts of it are metaphorical. After all, if Genesis is just a metaphor, how can you be sure God isn't just a metaphor as well?

The Kabbalistic Mirror of Genesis is the first book of its kind. It rigorously re-examines the first three chapters of the book of Genesis from a radical non-theistic position, completely removing the concept of a creator God. Despite this 'heretical' position, the book utilizes a traditionally precise kabbalistic vocabulary and structure. Previous works that have attempted to unpack the text invariably rely on theistic dogma and mythology. Smith's book is absolutely devoid of conventional religious 'truth', and probes the ultimate mysteries using epistemological and ontological questioning from a base of gnostic realization. The Kabbalistic Mirror of Genesis was previously only available to a small group of Smith's students and close colleagues, but it is now apparent that this work is enormously important and had to be made available to a wider audience.

Nowhere in the Bible is the genesis clearly identified as a metaphor, so what basis do you have for claiming that it was intended as one without admitting that the entire Bible is purely metaphorical? Because we can't prove Jesus didn't turn water into wine?

Easy, many scholars have pointed out that the language used in the first two passages or so have prose-like qualities that the rest of the Bible lacks. In doing so, they suggest a more Augustinian reading of the Bible, that God merely used the seven-day system to make it more poetic and practical for mortal use.
