[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny thing I've found is people who are literal about certain texts (Bible, constitution) are only *selectively* literal. Some passages they recite as carved-in-stone, and others they either debate or completely ignore.[/quote] This is logical (though wrong behavior). If all you have in your arsenal is is binary True and False, your only option is to accept or reject, not seek nuance and interpretation. To be fair, being non-litetal and non-rigid has flaws too: it invites the reader to project their own meaning into the text, and then claim he text supports it. [/quote]
