The Bible literally says it should be taken literally.

That's what makes it so funny.

Even the name says "take me literally".

Back in the day, a man would take an oath on his testicles, "I swear on my balls it is true"

Old and New Testament means "Old and New I swear on my balls this is true"

Im not religious at all.

But if I were, I would believe these were written by flawed humans that were inspired by god, but absolutely filling in blanks with their personal beliefs and stories.

Well that's why you're not religious though. You have that thought. If you were actually religious you would believe that these were literally the words of God spoken through the mouths and pens of the people who wrote them. Cuz that's what religious people actually believe. The fact that most of it's contradictory and impossible logically and none of it lines up is completely ignored by actual religious people. If you can't turn that part of your brain off, or if you never had it I suppose, you aren't going to be "their kind of religious."
