I think "holey" is a more appropriate adjective... :-P (Oh, the pun was SO necessary. You know it was.)

The Bible is to be Taken.... LITERALLY!
And YES... it is Holy.... as God is Holy!
“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
Thanks for Asking ! RR

I think it should be called "The Holy, Absolutely True except the fanciful bits, Wise except where foolish, Serious except where Silly, don't mind all the contradictions because if you were as smart as god you'd be able to sort them out--but if its meant to be understood by man why can't man understand it properly? and what about women?--that's another one you aren't smart enough for, and man is short for mankind, Bible."

Why wouldn't you take it literally? Actually, many of the books are historical and should be taken literally. However, many are also poetic and should be taken figuratively. It depends on what book you're reading.

No! I believe it's all true plus there has been some things historically found right!

Probably so, since all of the stuff that is totally wild is allegory and words like "hate" and "kill" don't actually mean hate or kill...

No. if God didn't expect people to take it literally, then why did He inspire it?
don't think you're smarter than God... nothing has taken Him by surprise.
