joe, if Jesus seemed to regard Jonah as real, I see no reason to mistrust its historicity. I would suppose, you believe the bible, but with lots of qualifications. I tend to agree with muskets opinion on pick and choose , though I guess its between you and your maker, rather than mine or muskets opinion.
don firth...I don't see that happening ,but just supposing your arguments did persuade me, I guess I would still believe in some kind of god, as I cant imagine having enough faith to be a genuine complete atheist. I doubt it would make a better person of me though.
musket....don't like my posts ?..simples...don't read em then !
