It's where the hooker factories are at. Ask the FSM in his holy book, and you'll see. No, really.

I saw it more as an informed audience being forced to take it non literally, since a literal view is clearly false. If it's false now, it was false then, meaning people back then were just being lied to.

The literal meaning reaches those with a bronze age level of understanding. With the dawn of the Enlightenment the hidden levels were revealed to reach modern society. As moderns we must approach the text in the manner of moderns.
So Jesus says, "fuck all of you skeptics, misled people, and weak minded people." "Fuck off to hell all of you... Except ChadWooters, he understands me!"

Actually they aren't that either. If they were, we wouldn't have so many different denominations of christianity. We wouldn't have people starting wars over who has the proper relationship with someone. As violent as Yahweh was, I don't think he ever wanted people to fight those who genuinely wanted to follow him.
