Yes, we do read the Bible literally. For example,
we take it literally when it tells us that Jesus spoke using parables.
Do you know how many times the Bible mentions the word "parable?"
64 times,
45 out of which appear in the New Testament, and guess what - out of these 45 instances, all are describing Jesus speaking in parables.
I mean, what sort of a sick human would actually
want to
imagine that he or she is literally devouring meat and fluid from a
dead human body? Do you people actually enjoy being wannabe cannibals?!? Eww!
