Believers, do you take The Bible literally?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) July 30th, 2010

Some of the answers this question got me wondering about this topic. I am not Christian but I was raised Catholic and even as a child I had trouble believing many of the fantastic stories (mostly) in The Old Testament. When I got older I learned the word I believe applies to many of these tales: allegory. If you are of a faith that reads and believes in The Bible, do you take all of the stories literally?
