But I love to point out that metaphor is nothing new … in fact, it’s Jewish.

Good point. I’ve never quite figured out where literalism began, since Origen was very specific about metaphor, but not long after that you could get killed for thinking wrong about the cracker! These terms change over time and location. I should have clarified something about the latest incarnation of metaphor.

Anyway, do what you need to do to take care yourself. Forums can be an escape, or an outlet, but sometimes also an addiction.
