You have too or your belief falls apart. You say the exact same thing as literal bible thumpers always say. "We have to take it literally or my belief falls apart". Stating one has to take the bible literally is a look into how we form beliefs and Make sense of the world around us.
Stating we must take it literally is a logical fallacy. We don't have to take it literally. In fact, I see absolutely no proof that is even should be. You will first have to give me more than "we must take it literally or my thinking falls apart". I need some proof of this evil god of yours wrote the book to be taken literally. I hear bible believers say this all the time "If I don't, I am wrong". Yeah? so what.
The problem you guys have with non-literal, is that when you remove "your" take's limits, the bible then becomes a tool that may help people through this shit hole of a life. And you want no parts of that for any reason. I would look at that first.
