1. Jesus, The Apostles, and the Prophets had a literal view of scripture. An example of this is when Jesus fought against Satan he used scripture to combat the devil. Paul also called scripture the very word of God and viewed scripture and took Jesus's words VERY literally.
2. Jesus came to fulfill the law and the Prophets. One of the reasons why he came to save his sheep was to correct many views of scripture at the time among the Jews at the time (mainoy the scribes and pharisees) and his words and the words of his Prophets and Apostles should be viewed as final and definitive.
3. Moses who saw the very back of God and recieved many of the words of God through conversations with him took the literal words of God literally.
4. It's foolishness to take the word of God symbolically because it undermines the authority of God and the very center of the Christian faith. The very center of the Christian faith is the words that Jesus said and his commandments and when we take his words symbolically we twist the very words that Jesus spoke and the Apostles thought were very important and recorded down.
5. Just because the Bible contains stories and humor does not mean that the words of those that carried authority in the Bible should be twisted. This includes Jesus, the apostles, and the Prophets.
Now people can have varying views on the interpretations of scripture, but ALL Christians should take the very words of God very, very seriously and a symbolic view of scripture undermines that.
