Did I miss it? What did he say that left room for non-literal translation?
He basically said that it wasn't a translation like scholars would do from old documents, but like a "revelation." That's the new "mormal" all right.

It was a VERY long term investment. In the short term, he lost his farm and wife.

Didn't Martin Harris mortgage his farm WITHOUT consulting with his wife? Did I read that in Rough Stone Rolling? I mean obviously women didn't have property rights at the time, but it goes a long way in explaining why she was so pissed.

True, like historically true? Or true like metaphorically spiritually powerful true? Like the same way that dianetics is true and helps millions of people around the world?

That is accurate. She knew it was happening, but did not agree with it.
