And of course, only you have the best reading comprehension skills to know exactly which parts are to be read metaphorically and which parts are to be taken literally.
And all those other 30,000 + Christian sects that read the Bible differently have inferior reading comprehension skills as you. Not to mention Jews and Muslims that interpret the Bible differently.
Sometimes people don't get what I'm trying to do here..

Pay attention to what I actually write. Do I ever insist that anyone should believe me let alone any other person? No, I insist that they research what I say for themselves... Do you understand my signature???

It is modernity that forces you to claim some parts of the Bible that used to be taken literally, are now metaphor. You do know that if you were around 500 years ago, you would have been a heretic for claiming the earth was spherical, right?
That's pretty ill informed of you. The Bible has stated that for a lot longer than 500 years...
