This is sort of in line with Protestants bashing Catholics over non literal interpretations of parts of the Bible, except when the Catholics take Jesus's words to eat his flesh and drink his blood literally, and then suddenly a literal interpretation is just so wrong .

Why would discussions about interpreting the Bible take place in the atheist section?

So you say it's not to be taken literally?

Why not? Why do you doubt the clear Word of God(tm)?

Thank you.

There is nothing more to say.
Yes for the record God says they can, just as they can be taught wisdom, just they can leap for joy, just as they are products of sinful parents and:
"and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. "
2 Timothy 3:15
But as you said, you prefer your humanistic reasoning over against what God said and there is nothing more you can say to unveil more clearly your attitude towards the Holy Bible.

Or is this a question that will be continually ducked and dodged ?
It hasn't been dodged, you're just not willing to accept an answer that doesn't fit your hoped for narrative.

Timothy's mother and grandmother were Christians - Acts 16:1-3
That is how Timothy knew the Scriptures which he heard from a infancy from believing family members.
Paul also considered Timothy a son in the faith - 1st Timothy 1:2
Timothy was covered by 1st Corinthians 7:14

Remember:
No infants survived the Flood of Noah's Day
No infants survived Sodom and Gomorrah
No infants whose parents are classed as haughty ' goats ' at the soon coming ' time or separation ' on Earth will survive the coming great tribulation of Revelation 7:14; Matthew 25:31-33,37; Matthew 24:37

Very good ... don't ya think that would be no different for believers like King David and his son that died or as God said of the baby (John the Baptist) in Elizabeth's womb
"faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." KJV

Faith is Not inborn. Faith comes from hearing ( listening/ learning )
1st Corinthians 7:14 applies to David and Bath-sheba. They repented.
During Jesus' coming millennium-long resurrection day on earth David will see his son resurrected.
Resurrected to enjoy physically healthy life forever on a beautiful paradisical Earth as Eden originally was.

John the Baptist - Matthew 11:11 - who also died before Jesus died will also have a happy-and-healthy physical resurrection back to life on Earth during Jesus' 1,000-year governmental rulership over Earth when enemy death will be No more.
- 1st Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 22:2

Sure it's been dodged , as you have so far refused to answer , and everyone on the forum can see that you have not . I have no hoped for narrative , I just would like to see if you have the courage to give a straight answer to what you seem to imply .

There are only 3 possible answers. Yes they will, no they won't, or maybe they will. In my last couple of attempts to get an honest answer out of you I have focused on the maybe part so as to not be putting words in your mouth by suggesting you are saying God will send them to Hell. There isn't any other answer that doesn't fall into one of the three , and trying to avoid answering by claiming what you said previously just doesn't fit my narrative , when you didn't give any of the actual answers, is nothing but a cop out .

You don't appear to have the willingness to state your beliefs openly, and hide behind quoting scripture to shield yourself from having to do so. Sounds like a person somewhat ashamed of his beliefs to me .

I have no interest in millennial fortune telling
