Sean, how dishonest can a person get? You said a sign is not a metaphor. And I quoted this from a writer who has nothing to do with preterism, the bible or anything spiritul.
[1 A general remark on metaphor may be in place. For detail we refer the
reader to [11] and, much briefer, to [14]. Coyne, in the subtitle of his
remarkable book [3], announces a paradigmatic shift of the focus of
systems design. Before these, Canfield Smith had introduced powerful
metaphors that have ever since governed graphic interfaces [19]. As we
use it here, a metaphor is a sign, or system of signs, to denotate an object
(or system of objects) in such a way that two interpretants are invoked.

A METAPHOR IS A SIGN!
How can you stand there and blatantly lie like you do about this? Where in God's good earth is there a grain of honesty in your heart?
