It doesn't make sense literally because of the numerous contradictions that sort of reading spawns e.g. two creation accounts. But then a metaphorical reading doesn't work because of the apparent intricate relationship between the OT and NT e.g. the genealogy from Adam to Jesus. Surely the genealogy isn't from metaphorical man to literal man? Therefore, a literally reading seems to be the most logical... as far as "logical" goes with the Bible.
Bolded by me to highlight the hilarious logic applied by fundie atheists.
Seriously? It doesn't make sense literally so therefore the literal reading is the most logical??? Who taught you about logic?

Catfish, there's a secret technique passed down from one atheist to another, a powerful observational magic imparted from teacher to student only in the dead of night and only once the student has completed certain rites. Only then will they be given this advanced skill, called...
"Reading the fucking sentences in between the bits that have been bolded."
Seriously, must you devolve to this level, even when the rest of the paragraph is plainly seen? Do you not understand that something can still be illogical from top to bottom and still have an interpretation that is more logical than another? That there are degrees of wrongness, and though the bible may be wrong altogether, interpreting it literally is at least slightly less wrong than the piecemeal, partial metaphor version most theists advocate?
Are you doing this on purpose?
