Hurray for Greta Christina!
[...] I remember how easily I would slip back and forth between thinking of my beliefs as literal, and thinking of them as metaphorical. Mostly, they would slip back and forth depending on how hard they were being questioned. When I was with someone who was more skeptical, I'd lean toward the "useful metaphor" end of the spectrum; when I was with other believers, I'd lean toward the, "Wow, isn't this freaky, something weird must really be going on here!" side.

That was very well written, in fact it was so well written that it may even be compelling to believers... Thanks for posting the link, I will definitely be passing it along. :)
