What bible do they have? Woke will self destruct into ever smaller factions. Eventually it ends up as individualism, which is good, or it will spend itself on in fighting and go away as a political force.

but if they let it go, they won't be christians any longer. I respect
the guys who struggled to reconcile the book with todays world without
giving it up completely.

The literalists have always had - and been - a problem.  I resolved the
issue in my school days.  The literature classes we took taught us about
metaphor and simile, and I saw no reason why the seven days of creation
should not be metaphorical rather than literal.  Suddenly there was no
conflict.  There are lots of things like that in the book.

This is the truth!
