Why do we read the Bible literally?


When people read books from the past they need to understand how to read it. When we say tell me what happened today? We use facts, fact, facts. But this is not how people talked 2,000 or more years ago. Stories and histories were not told this way and so when people today read the Bible or Koran or such and read it literally without understanding history, context or the culture then of course you will not really get it at all. No owner there are so many misunderstandings.
