As a Christian, there are a number of beliefs I consider important, and I believe them in the most literal sense possible.
I believe that God literally created everything in existence.
I believe that in the historical person of Jesus of Nazereth, God literally became a human being.
I believe that Jesus literally healed people, drove out demons, and preached about the Kingdom of God.
I believe that Jesus literally died by crucifixion.
I believe that Jesus literally resurrected from his tomb after being literally dead for 3 days.
I believe that Jesus literally ascended into Heaven.
I believe that Jesus will literally return to Earth again to literally carry out the judgments of God.
I believe that Jesus has literally sent the Holy Spirit during these last days to empower the Church to spread the Gospel.
I believe in a literal Heaven and a literal Hell.
I believe that God exists in 3 persons, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Literally.
Yet somehow, for some segments of Christianity, all of this is still not quite literal enough. Weird.
