I struggle with literalism when it comes to scriptures.  My issue is mainly I have no idea what the author's time really was and in what context they wrote and meant it in.  They can have a huge bearing on what they really meant and not what we think the literal meaning is.

If we took the scriptures literal, PJ would have to remove everything from you Lori as the bible makes it clear that the bible can only be used and interpreted by men as only men could be chosen for such.  That is the second problem is most literalist only take the parts they are comfortable with or believe in literally.  I do not believe that is you, but I know many that way.

Of course, as always, these are just my humble opinions.
