The moment I couldn’t square biblical inerrancy with the many contradictory (both mutually exclusive and self-contradictory) statements of the Bible.
Also, being very into astronomy and evolutionary science, which ran hard up against the stories of Creation.






As in, interpreting the Bible as metaphor?
I do think they’re more valid and I’m more willing to respect someone’s faith on that ground. I’ve considered it myself before, even, but my upbringing as a (now former) Roman Catholic has definitely colored my interpretation of it.
