“In the Gospels Jesus has to explain to the apostles that he is speaking in a metaphor, not literally, because they are dumb as stumps, and, boy, people have not gotten smarter in the intervening two millenia.” -Tucker Saglio
[Sometimes it is simply that they would prefer literal statements rather than metaphor because it makes it easier to deny what he obviously meant.]
