So, all of a sudden, Biblical literalism includes poetic analogies.

Your “trod upon” is particularly funny. Do you think they mowed lawns back then?

Show me a source for your interpretation that is not part of a literalist apologia.

Nobody ever claimed that the Bible was to be taken word for word literally in every little detail. Everyone, except apparently evos, recognizes that Scripture contains poetry, analogy, metaphor, simile, parables, prophecy, songs, psalms, etc.

The only ones hung up on literalism are those who wish in some way to discredit the Bible and make anyone who believes in it look like a fool.

The box you’re trying to stuff people in doesn’t exist except in the minds of the evos and/or atheists.
