If you are taught to take Scriptures literally, free of symbolism, irony metaphor or any other sort of literary devices, then you also learn to take anything else you read literally.

I live in a country full of people like that. Germans can enjoy a good joke as much as anyone else, but they get annoyed unless you tip them off in advance that you are telling them a joke or they will take often it entirely literally and get upset when they discover it was a joke (if they ever do…some people still haven’t caught on I was joking.)
