Jesus taught primarily by parable and allegory and metaphor. He was one creative dude, in terms of approaches and methods for his teachings. Why is it that his followers have to be so bloody-minded literal?
I also find it amazing that the same christians (I refuse to use a capital C) who insist on a <10k-year-old earth also missed Jesus' core message, which was "Be good to people, including those different from you, especially those who need it most."
Blessed are the meek, bitches!
