Maybe some people just need a good literature course on how figurative language works: "I am the Way" says something about the "I" -- "This is My Body" says something about the "This (Bread)". Of course, sometimes for some people, "figurative" actually means "meaningless when all else fails . . . ;-)

Good point, maryz. Even basic reading comprehension would go a long way...
