Very few people attempt it. It can only lead to full blown insanity. It can't be taken literally any other way. Most theists will actually tell you that (edit: See, Watson did).

What the extremists do is take specific parts of the bible(s) and interpret them in extreme ways. Sometimes that means taking a verse and/or chapter literally, sometimes it means believing that their interpretation should be forced on everyone else.
