How do you know which parts are literal and which are not? Why is your interpretation of which parts are literal and which are not the right one?

I love it, "Read it like I tell you and then it proves I'm right".
Let me give that a shot:
Read the bible like it was written as a way of understanding things the uneducated, uninformed people from thousands of years ago couldn't understand or have known and it proves god don't exist.
See, I can do it too.
