In my (admittedly biased) experience, people who interpret the Bible literally do so in search of justification for their own biases, not in search of moral guidance.
And to top it off, many English translations of the Bible (especially the King James version, which is often the one interpreted literally) have been acknowledged as being historically and factually inaccurate.
