The Bible and its fallacies and contradictions

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.
