It would cause you to actively misinterpret parts of the Bible that are explicitly non-literal.
Like when Jesus tells you to forgive someone, "not seven times, but seventy times seven!"
A literal interpretation is that you should forgive someone exactly 490 times. But Jesus is clearly trying to express that there should be no limit to forgiveness. The literal interpretation is wrong.
