The Bible itself warns against taking it literally in at least two places. Funny how you never hear the literalists talk about that...

Which places are those? I can't remember any anti-literalism verses

I believe one is in Hebrews; I found it while looking for something else and didn't think to write down chapter and verse. The author was irritated at his followers getting into heated arguments over what a phrase or even individual word "really" meant, and told them they were missing the point of the lesson by arguing over minutia. He further wrote "Do not trust the written or spoken word, but think for yourselves."

The other was told to me by a minister's daughter I used to correspond with. I wrote down the chapter and verse of that, but can't find the note. Sorry.

And a lot of the folks spouting hatred need to have their noses rubbed into the verse about "If you do it unto the least of these"
