Don't you think that these passages are metaphors GM? There is so much poetry lost because people interpret the Bible literally. Don't you think that the Creator of the Universe was as capable of symbolism and metaphor as William Shakespeare or Raymond Chandler?
Or does a sword really come out of Jesus' mouth like Secret Sam? Cool, man! That would certainly get Bart Simpson's attention!
