You'll find that Faith's opinion is the majority. She doesn't really bother with facts and figures, they often get in the way of the truth. For example, for about 3000 of the 3500 years she mentions here, no one took the Bible at face value. No Jewish scholars and no Christian church fatehrs took the Bible at face value.
Ask Faith to name a Church Father who read the Bible in the same literal sense as she does. Her answer will be interesting.
So, the majority of Christians have NEVER taken the Bible literally, in the face value sense of literal.
Faith never allows facts to get in the way of her claims. She is probably used to discussing these issues with other Christians who never doubt anything she says, she gets away with spouting nonsense with them and thinks it will work here.
