To read them as literal would bring up too many questions, such as to use the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, if one takes it face value as a literal, historical story then one would then "why isn't God punishing cities with large homosexual populations like he did before?"
But isn't the idea to take early Genesis as allegory?And the account of Genesis "Why is there overwhelming evidence for evolution?" (bearing in mind, I believe in neither of these, they are examples).
