I do know some Catholics, but I never asked them about this because, after seeing how those two people I mentioned were going at each other over the subject, I didn't want to stir up anything. You seem to be pretty comfortable discussing stuff like this. You're a cool dude, Jude.
Yeah, no, I know that bringing up religion with people can be a difficult subject to broach. I can absolutely answer Catholic questions. Maybe I should make a separate thread for it in case there are other things you want to know about. As for being a cool dude? I try!

Many Jews ( myself included ) believe the Hebrew bible was meant to be part literal, and part metaphorical passage of information. I know some people in the bible did exist. I think both King Solomon and King David were real people. Abraham and Moses I lean towards metaphorical. Both the Hebrew bible and Talmud have been so dissected by modern Judaism that it is easy to understand the authors intent of the writings.
We are to recognize everyone as brothers and sisters, and do everything we can do to promote that bond.
Thank you very much for the welcome! And yeah, I'll be around!
