went to fundamentalist churches when i was younger. biblical literalism is so obviously bullshit but is so ingrained in my beliefs that i have a hard time accepting all of it. i get that there are parts that can be taken figuratively but i still have a hard time dealing with it. even jesus used figurative techniques in his parables. he would tell a parable, his disciples would interpret his words literally and do something wrong. could make the case that that behavior went away with the holy spirit but i don't know.
