And of course, only you have the best reading comprehension skills to know exactly which parts are to be read metaphorically and which parts are to be taken literally.
And all those other 30,000 + Christian sects that read the Bible differently have inferior reading comprehension skills as you. Not to mention Jews and Muslims that interpret the Bible differently.
Funny how over time less and less of the Bible is taken literally. It is modernity that forces you to claim some parts of the Bible that used to be taken literally, are now metaphor. You do know that if you were around 500 years ago, you would have been a heretic for claiming the earth was spherical, right?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
