What does your business partner think about your belief that most terrorist acts are planned and executed by people of the Islamic faith?

You sound like a Calvinist, which I always mean as a compliment.

One buddy said he agreed with much of my assessment of religion except with my belief that the Bible is an illustration and lesson that some interpret differently, but it is not to be taken literally. He said that the Word of God is to be taken 100% as the Word and taken literally because these were divinely inspired men (just men? LOL).

I read recently (in a more conservative publication) that you can take the Bible literally and you can take the Bible seriously, but you can't do both at the same time.
