I do struggle with biblical literalism of any stripe, after learning just a little about the construction of it. It's always been a moving target, long before the KJV, with parts added and removed for political reasons at various convocations of bishops. Not to mention the many layers of translation, the inconsistencies from the Old Testament that are quoted when convenient and disavowed when not. In some ways, I can better sympathize with a Mormon true believer or a Scientologist. Their prophets might be absurd and possibly venal, but Christianity is extensively well-documented as a political construction.
