59. They take the bible for it's literal meaning...
which is a huge mistake, IMO. Revelation...most fundies think it's all symbolic and told from a primitive guy who saw visions. That in itself goes against the rest of the bible they take literally.

For one thing I've never believed anyone should take it literally. For another, it was all written by fallible men who had their own agendas. The other reason I don't buy into the bible is because the catholic church put the book together. Now, if that ain't an agenda driven place, I don't know what is.
