[[Have you ever actually seen anyone say that the Bible has to be interpreted to be either totally literal or totally metaphorical, other than yourself?]]

Lol- You’rte kidding, right? Have you not seen the pages and pages of arguments that occure when Christians are accused by non Christians of being either strict literalists or not? It’s always amusing when non Christians try to tell us how we should read God’s word- they attempt to use our own Book to beat us over the head with, but always end up looking silly for havign attempted to do so.

This isn't about saying someone is a strict literalist. It's questioning the claim that they say the Bible has to be interpreted as either being totally literal or totally metaphorical.

Will I be able to get a direct answer that question as it was asked, without having it changed into a question I did not ask?
