Given that the God inspired scriptures speak of God sitting, walking, writing extending His hand it doesn’t seem “...at the very least, taking unwarranted liberties.”, to say He thinks. (Isa. 55:8) He is even called a “man of war”. (Ex. 15:3)

The OT also says that God has to come "down" [sic] in order to "see" [sic] what's going on.

Do you not relaize that biblical literalism is childish?

Do you not realize literalism was not the point in question and that if “biblical literalism is childish?” then ALL literalism is likewise?

But of course the assumption that figurative expressions were taken literally is what is really childish.
