Most Americans take Bible Stories Literally

Interestingly, over 2/3 of Americans take many bible stories literally . . .

the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
Moses’ parting of the Red Sea
Peter walking on water
God creating the universe in six days
Daniel surviving his time in the lion’s den
David killing Goliath with stones and a sling shot

Original article from the Barna Group.

I'm not sure how that translates into the faith of 2/3 of the American population . . .

Have you read "Un-Christian"? It's a book that just came out released from the Barna group. Anyways, I started reading it, and it's really good. Check it out. :)
