The difficult part being getting it all to line up just the way you want.
Getting me to line up the way it says*
EDIT: The Bible is not very hard to understand - the difficulty comes because we do not want to change, but would rather do things our way. Thats where all the denominations come from.. Each one of them says they follow the Bible, plus and minus certain parts.. Because they don't like what the Bible says, but there was never difficulty understanding it
A literal interpretation is easy to understand...and even easier to dismiss.
Assuming non believers do not want change is preposterous. For instance, I want my wife's breasts to go from 'C's to 'DD's. Change! You obviously mean change as in swallowing the bible hook line and stinker. I am not a stubborn child throwing a hissy. Change should be an improvement, to myself and/or my environment. Shutting off critical thought for pie in the sky would be a detriment i couldn't abide. Further, any theoretical god who thought this a good test for me would get told he's a sadistic cunt who doesn't deserve respect.
