I can name quite a few Bible passages that fundamentalists take literally that are "cute."

Okay, I'm curious. Could you start with two, please?

NEWGEEZER-Here are some I don't understand why fundamentalists don't take literally.

Sacrament of Reconciliation-

Mark 6:12-13  "So they went out and preached that men should repent.  And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them."

Importance of the Pope-

Matthew 16:18-19  "And I tell you, you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it.  I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound to heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed"

"How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news"
