I once was asked by my mother-in-law, an Anglican, "Can you believe that there are actually people who think that the Noah story literally happened?"
I didn't think much about it, becuase I was well aware that there are such people. It didn't even occur to me to add "yes, and there are even more who still think Jesus rose from the dead". It didn't even occur to me that she sees no conflict between criticizing believers in the old testament, but not believers of the new testament.
So, "moderate Christians", how do you decide where the line is drawn between scriptural fact and allegory?
