My bad amigo, it's hard to tell when you lot are being literal or metaphorical, or joking.

One day they get called to the Head's office, the first one gets dragged in by his ear and comes face to face with the Bishop. "Where is Jesus???" thunders the old git, poking him in the chest (with his finger, thankfully) "Where is Jesus?? I want you to go home and find Jesus!!"
The lad leaves the office and just before his friend gets the same treatment he whispers "Shit, we're really in trouble now - they've lost Jesus and they think we did it!"
Nice.

One word: metaphor.
Yes?
And how do you know what is metaphorical and what is literal in the bible?

Wow, aren't you wrong....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Laws_of_Noah
The Seven Laws of Noah (Hebrew: שבע מצוות בני נח Sheva mitzvot B'nei Noach) form the major part of the Noachide Laws, or Noahide Code.[1] This code is a set of moral imperatives that, according to the Talmud, were given by God[2] as a binding set of laws for the "children of Noah" – that is, all of humankind.[3][4] According to religious Judaism, any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as a Righteous Gentile, and is assured of a place in the world to come (Olam Haba), the final reward of the righteous.[5][6] Adherents are often called "B'nei Noach" (Children of Noah) or "Noahides" and may often network in Jewish synagogues.[citation needed]

Gets you sent to hell it's worth it
I think it's metaphoricle because pretty much every religion out there has tons of metaphoricle staories, so why wouldn't Christianity? Throughout history Christianity has purposefully employed bits and pieces of other religions to make itself morea appealing.
