What if we consider that a person who has come to question or even reject his or her literal faith is someone who has progressed to a higher spiritual plane than those who require literalism?
Alma 12:9 suggests that the Church teaches "the lesser portion of His word". Jesus taught in parables and metaphors, and to the audience of the Gospel of John, literalism was a live and well. Literalism is the "milk". At some point, we outgrow it, and realize that universal, unconditional love is far more important than believing in some literal aspect of church history or doctrine.
But no. It is a waste of time to have this conversation.
Glad to have got back....
