Lol i found a better argument about this, from Nature's Eternal Religion:
28. "You shouldn't take the Bible literally."
Many a time when I have cornered someone in a debate about the impossible and contradictory tenets of Christianity, they will
try to weasel out with the expression, "Well, you shouldn't take the Bible literally." Evidently they are inferring that the Bible
doesn't really mean what it says, and doesn't say what it means. This, again, in itself, is a strange and idiotic non sequitor
argument. If the Bible is such a great piece of literature and is the divine word of God, certainly Christ and/or God, with all their
supposedly infinite wisdom, were capable of expressing themselves clearly and explicitly. The fact that the Bible is just
saturated with contradictions, with a vast collection of vague and meaningless phrases, is, in itself, the best indication that it is,
of course, not the word of God or any such thing.
In any case, if I, as a businessman, were to write a contract selling a piece of land, and then, when it came time to deliver deed
and title, blandly stated to my customer, that, well, of course, you shouldn't take what it says there too literally, I would, of
course, be accused of being a liar and a cheat.
If we can't take the Bible literally and it doesn't mean what it says and say what it means, then what does it mean, if anything?
Since the so-called "Good Book" makes such a big issue of "truth," we can, of course, judge it by its own standards. If it isn't
telling the truth, if it doesn't mean what it says, and if it doesn't say what it means, then it is, of course, lying.
