As Catholics (I say this because it is different from other denominations) we believe the important part is believing in and following Church Doctrine. Whether we choose to take the stories in the OT literally or not, is really just detail so long as we believe and follow Church teaching.
Personally, I don't think any of the OT is literal.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
