I've often wondered if these people who claim to oppose a "literal" interpretation would say, "I oppose a literal reading of 'Robinson Crusoe?'"

Just what other kind of reading is there? Speculative? Creative? Mathematical?

Thanks for standing up for a common sense approach to interpreting writing.

*LOL*

I am unable to comprehend it myself...

Maybe you're right and they really meant to say "I oppose taking the Bible out of context", but I'm not sure...

Frankly, it's pretty scary to hear a professed Christian say something like that!
