>God exists in a metaphysical sense but not a physical sense and Genesis didn’t happen literally
You’re not a Christian if you think this. Stop giving into atheist pressure and giving up your beliefs to appeal a mob that will never be appeased. Your ancestors would be ashamed of your revisionism and goal-post moving.

If God was really this external being who governs over reality and wants the salvation of his creatures you would think that he would be directly involved in everyone's lives and clearly visible to the whole world rather than just living in peoples heads. Either God is indifferent, sadistic, or he doesn't exist in the way that Christians say he is.

The texts not being literal is not a belief designed to appeal to atheists, its the proper interpretation of the texts, which were not written in a Westernized sense, as scientific books, but instead written poetically as the culture that generated them tended to write.

This is literally what the Early Church Fathers believed (Tertullian, Origen, Clement, Denys etc...) and allegorical interpretation of Genesis has roots in both Judaism (Philo and other Jewish Scholars) and the early church/scholasticism. If anything, the literalist interpretation of evangelicals in America is the heterodox reading. God can exist both immanently within Creation and Transcendentally outside of it, and claiming that God (beyond being) is somehow physical is both heretical and philosophically/theologically naive.

Nobody knows the Father except through the Lord Christ. So it was said, and so it was written. So, yes. It can be known in the example of our Redeemer, who was a spiritually perfect human during His time on earth.
