[quote=Heroic]
It tells you in the Bible to take every word in the Bible literally, and in no other way? And that basically implies that since I don't take the Bible literally, I should abandon my relationship with Jesus and start living in sin the way I used to so I can go to Hell.

If you can take a whole book as a metaphor, you have no reason to believe Jesus died for our sins, or that anyone is going to Hell. Why even believe in sin if it's all just a metaphor? Christianity is different than every other religion because it's meant to be taken literally and as absolute truth!
