A literalist reading of genesis, for example, is required for the christian narrative. No garden, no fall........nothing to be saved from. A person may decide that the vast majority is metapohor or incompetence.....but those parts which form the basis of the narrative of vicarious redemption -must be- literal...or vicarious redemption is also metaphor or incompetence.
A person may also see the deluge as metaphor or incompetence....but so too is the "judgement of the wicked" metaphor or incompetence in that case..and in the case of those who do not accept a literal interpretation of the above narrative as well.
At what point can we confidently state that god itself is metaphor, or incompetence...I wonder?
