I think it's good that religion can adapt to our growing understanding of the natural world.

Science can't disprove religion and religion can't disprove science. Like science can't disprove that God is real and can't say that atoms don't exist. Why is this true? Science is a better understanding of the physical realm. Religion is an understanding of the ideal realm.

Actually, we don't need the supernatural at all to understand ideals and morals. Religion is superfluous, to science and to people.

Wow, so much wrong with that statement there. Science CAN disprove religious claims (as it has been doing for centuries now), however when science falsifies religious claims, the above happens. All claims of a personal god is by definition a scientific claim. Science can't falsify the notion of a deistic god who doesn't interact with the world, however.
And what's an "ideal realm" BTW?

Which becomes especially aggravating when the "metaphor" makes no sense as a metaphor. Say, what part about "stone gay people" is a metaphor, christians?

I've brought that up. Apparently, it's stupid of me to doubt the morals of God who is a supreme being, and what may seem bad to us is actually completely moral in the eyes of the Lord.
So...even worse...
