Why do people take the bible so literally?

Why do people take the bible literally?

  • Answer:

    Those whom prescribe to the Word of God as a literal message from God, do so from experience that comes from application; individual, personal observation. Something, your obvious lack of maturity, wouldn't allow you to understand.

Pure stupidity.

Brain washing/lack of real world knowledge. Not all of them are stupid though. I know a lot of smart Christians.

The Bible is full of ... illogical things, but usually the verses taken more seriously are the ones that have awesome-sauce all over it. I went into a Lutheran wedding and all of the passages they are were citing kept me nodding my head, even though I think Christianity in general is pretty effing stupid.

Because you can't control people who interpret it as only mythology Not all Christians read it literally and those ones are much more sane

Yes, except where we shouldn't.. Your last question is not logical?
