Here's my claim today. Biblical Christianity, defined as Christian faith based on a careful, contextual understanding of the Bible (Old and New Testaments) as written in the original languages, is a patently rational belief system based on objective claims of the divinity of Jesus Christ and objective claims regarding historical occurrences.
Like it or not, that's the way it is.
God bless y'all.

We all know exactly what it means.

Objective claims are either true or false and are not based on subjective experience.

You can't be an expert on EVERYTHING when you don't know a single thing about anything.

Objective and religion do not even bnelong in the same universe.
BTW the Oxford Dictionary disagrees with your subjective definition
objective
1. (of a person or their judgment) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.
"historians try to be objective and impartial"
Similar: impartial unbiased unprejudiced nonpartisan disinterested

Adam and Eve
Mass Exodus from Egypt
Global Flood
Herod's Census
Etc. etc.
I don't like to criticize people for their religion, but literal bible interpretations are a no go for me.

You know you can be a Christian without thinking every word in the Bible is true, right? Like focus more on the be good to one another parts and less on the there was a flood that left 8 people alive parts.

How do you suggest a Christian determine what in the Bible is true and what isn't?

How do cops figure out when someone is lying? When the details of their story don't make any sense.

Key word is "contextual."
Context is hard to define/understand looking back 2000 years, but I certainly would not claim to be able to do it.
