Why do some take the Bible literally?

The Bible
lokiloco26 asked:


I am not a believer in the Bible personally because the writers are no longer living, and I cannot question their intentions or their credibility. My question is how can some take the Bible literally when it is full of inconsistencies and impossibilities.

    Oh, they only take SOME of it literally. There are parts some will insist are meant to be metaphoric (because if taken literally they expose the many plot holes of the bible), while at the same time insisting that another part is meant to be taken literally (because it is convenient).
