I think the truth can be more accurately expressed than the Bible offers. The whole idea of pointing at the truth makes it seem external. Which is why christianity is traditionally known as an externally focused religion in contrast to buddhism and hinduism.
I mean you think people take the bible too literally, but you actually believe their was a God-man walking the earth doing fantastically impossible things like raising the dead, etc?
If he could do the impossible, why didn't he just make people understand beyond the impossibility of the way language can?
The whole idea of Jesus as the son of man seems like anthropomorphic mythology to me, which is nothing but a distraction from the real goals of Christianity or any other religions.
