For further progress, how long will it be before the Vatican slowly
argues it's way out of the mess of their farcical 'interpreting' of the
Bible 'literally'?

I have some friends that believe that way, we have some "great"
discussions sometimes. I keep telling them it is their job to try and
convert me to their point of view, God did tell people to 'spread the
word' after all. They keep telling me it is hopeless!

It is not hopeless at all!

Sorry wasn't clear, they are trying to convert me into their way of
thinking. That is what I meant by "hopeless".
I have some major issues with Religion as it is believed and spread by
most people. I can give some great reasons why most Religions are
hopelessly lost in their own BS. I am not saying there is not a God, I
am saying that as practiced by most people, Religion can't be what
they say it is. Too much is needed to be taken on "faith", Jim Jones's
people believed in him too. Jim and Tammy Faye Baker are other
examples. There are many, many more. That dipstick in America that
said God told him 'if people don't give him 20 million dollars, God
will take him into Heaven', people sent him the money!
