  whilst in church today, it was a c of e, the sermon was all about jonah and the whale.

  Whilst in church today, it was a C of E, The sermon was all about Jonah and the Whale. It was told as though IT REALLY HAPPENED. So, I am supposed to take the story literally. Some one stuck inside the belly of a whale, and vomitted out onto dry land after the Lord heard his prayer?. Yet when I question other aspects of the bible....such as the bit about God going on about us having to eat the flesh of our offspring if we do not offer ourselve to to him without condition and accept without question that HE is the ONE TRUE GOD,(cannot remember exactly how it goes), I am told it is a metaphor. This seems to me a simple case of hand picking exactly what we want from the bible and interpreting it to suit our own satisfaction. Didnt think it was supposed to be like that.
