Being religiously minded, I tend to take a totally different tact with literalists. I agree that scripture is the inspired word of God. But, I then to go whether it was intended to be taken literally. Good old Tommy Aquinas argued against that about 1000 years ago. But, he's Catholic and suspect. Then the question comes to whether the four gospels agree on the day Jesus died. They don't. John has him dying on the day before Passover, the synoptic gospels have him die on the day of Passover. Now, you think that this would have been noticed early: well it was. The first apologist we have on record for including the gospel of John in the Bible stated that John was not literally true, but spiritually true. So, the guy who at least started the push to put John in the Bible said it wasn't literally true. So far, that argument has been met with silence.
