Why do some people take the bible as literal truth?

When was the last time you saw someone apply this scripture in our day? This was part of the law given to the nation of Israel and it was the gold standard of it's day. That's why the Queen of Sheba traveled far and wide to see the splendor of Solomon's temple. She exclaimed that she hadn't been told the half!! [1 Kings 10:7]...Why don't you stop picking apart what you read and appreciate the truths found theirin...read the book of Daniel. Very cool. It starts out talking about how a few young men took their stand for true worship in a land foreign to them (they were captured by the Babylonians) THIS IS COOL!! When young people have the faith to stand up for what is right and NOT give in to peer pressure. Jehovah's Witnesses have taught me principles that are realistic and have changed my life in many ways. The Bible can teach you too to be someone with self-respect and integrity. And as a bonus, everlasting life on a paradise earth. See Daniel 2:44.
