One may not subscribe to a literal interpretation of scripture, but if you're just going to substitute whatever word suits you, what's the point. I could do the same thing with Dr. Seus and get a powerful message.
Adam was into some weird aural sex kink? Who knew? (apologies, couldn't help it)
To the point at hand. The entire bible/koran/epic of gilgamesh/Egyptian book of the dead/LOTR/whatever, is predicated upon the fact that they are all fiction that a convincing speaker can foist upon a gullible audience.
