I like this argument you just made, David. Although, I assume you just googled "Should you take the Bible literally?" in which case I encourage you to click on the top link and read that for reasons I'm about to explain. First off, understand this... I have read most of the Bible yet! I'm only still on Exodus, and I'm still a new Christian. Now that that's out of the way, there are verses like the one in the article I told you to look at that wouldn't make any sense whatsoever to be taken literally.

Uh, yeah. I said it was just a copy and paste. I clicked the first link, it looked good, and I used it. [quote=Heroic]
No one said you can't take parts of the Bible as literal, an some as metaphorical.

I don't really do that. I take the whole as literal and pieces as metaphorical. Parables are metaphors for messages, figures in Revelations and Daniel prophecies are metaphors for things to come.
