It's kind of ok, but often;
"The Bible is literally true as long as you interpret it (correctly)."
is heard/internalized as
"The Bible is true as long as you (correctly) interpret it literally."
Which is a totally different beast.
(And "literally" is yet another term for fight, see xkcd )
The statement "the sky weights an elephant and smells red." is
literally true as long as you interpret it correctly. (and I'm not
giving any clue)
