Yeah I've heard this BS before. You can interpret it anyway you want. Just look at the TV series Ancient Aliens. I find the literal Christians more honest. They don't bother with the running round saying "Oh no thats not what it really meant." take the westboro church. They just repeat the bible and it pisses everyone off. Its hilarious.
Plus I'm not sure where the metaphor is in being burned in a lake of fire for all eternity. How can you even decide whats the metaphor and whats the literal truth in any of it? Once you start doing that you may as well throw the hole thing out the window.. Preferably into a lake of fire.
