Do Christians have any source for their teaching other than the bible?
Sounds like the end of Christianity is approaching.
Some of us do. It's called the Light of Christ Within and has always
been held in at least a high regard, if not a higher, than the Bible.
Not all Xians take the Bible literally, no matter how hard some
atheists want us to.
Quite so, but if they're willing to take it non-literally, why not watch
Gilligan's Island and interpret it non-literally instead? It's a great deal
less bloody.

Maybe so, but he never had a bit quite as astounding as Hamlet sung to
Carmen.

Stay out of debt

Think twice
And take this good advice from me
To thine own self be true.
