Metaphors Are Like Similes, but Metaphors Are Not Similes

[MineralMan]

For example, Man is not God, but may be like a god in some ways. And vice-versa.

Also, the Bible is not Truth, however it sometimes appears to be like truth in some areas. That can be confusing for those who confuse metaphors with similes.

All squares are rectangles, however the converse is not true. Rectangles are like squares, in that both have right angles at each corner. However, the lengths of a rectangle's sides are not necessarily equal, as they are in squares.
