Also, aren't there some descriptions of various creatures in the Old Testament suggestive of either dinosaurs or dragons? I'm sure at least one of you would know the verses I'm speaking of.

Same as the dragon references provided. There is also the Behemoth (translated in later versions as Ox) and the Leviathan.
Thinking about it doesn't it kind of hurt the position of dinosaurs in the Bible when versions of the Bible have these creatures as nothing more then lizard, oxen and jackals?
there are 2 dragons in the Bible, even ill admit to that, theyre found in revalations, after the breaking of the 7 seals. so credit to magegreywolf. however! there are so many animals in the Bible that it makes legitment sense, and anyone who takes the Bible 100% literally is a fruit, because then its make no sense, but metaphorically, it makes total sense, there are a few instances in which the Bible can be take literally though. because itd stilll make sense lterally.

As I pointed out earlier the problem here is that there is no clear line between what's suppose to be taken as metaphor and what's suppose to be taken literally. As it stands we could easily just say God is nothing more then a metaphor.

Oh you mean like this? What I mean is that how the hell are people meant to tell the difference?
You know how the thing with the dragons started? Because someone said:
Yes he does. Every word of the Bible is true.
And I replied:

So you believe in dragons.. what a dork. [/quote] Now this was it for some time, and then NoobSlayer brought that up again because of the dragon thing.. I for myself never said that you should take the bible, or any holy book, literally, I'm even openly against it and glad that there are christians who don't.
OK then - go drink a chalice of poison for me would ya. If you truly believe in your particular imaginary friend in the sky then you'll not feel the effects of the poison.
