The issue with some (not all) people with autism is that they take phrases hyper-literally, not literally. What you're trying to address has little, if any, to do with hyper-literalness.
It is an impression Acrobat and I get when people ignore the obvious: all literature -- in fact all language -- relies on non-literal expression.
To pretend somehow that any good text would be entirely literal, or that any text at all can operate without non-literal expression, is just obtuse. Reading is interpreting.

Wait a minute, who is suggesting that the Bible is to be interpreted 100% literally? None of us here have said that, so where exactly are you getting the idea that anyone is suggesting that?
Furthermore, where exactly do you get off suggesting that people must be autistic for not agreeing with your interpretation of the Bible?
You are both some arrogant fucks, you know that?
You are aware that some people on the board here are actually on the spectrum, right? This really comes off like you guys are just trying to get under people's skins; I honestly doubt this is a real concern of yours and this thinly veiled shit you're pulling is fucking gross. You just cannot accept the fact that the people here at AF don't agree with your nonsense version of christianity. Fuck off dude.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
