Re: hell
If you choose to omit certain parts of the Bible that you don't like, you may as well create your own religion.
I have come to the conclusion that the only reason people are trying to interpret the Bible metaphorically is because many things in the Bible are completely unreasonable. Because of human nature's upward trend in knowledge and increase in reason, some attempt to mold reason into the Bible. My point is that God didn't come down out of the clouds and tell us "Genesis is actually not true and was written to sort of metaphorically describe the big bang which actually happened 14 billion years ago." Applying reason to the Bible through means of alternate interpretation is entirely man made, making the Bible essentially useless.
