Biblical literalists, do you literally believe this?

This isn't a troll question, I just want to get some clarification on something. When you say taking the Bible literally, what exactly do you mean? For example, do you literally believe that a woman standing on the moon, wearing the sun, and crowned with 12 stars will be chased by a dragon who will drag a third of the stars from the sky, and that a beast with 10 horns and 7 heads will rise from the sea, and another beast with lamb horns and a dragon voice will rise from the earth with a healed mortal head wound, and that a prostitute will ride a scarlet beast, and that there will be three frogs that come out of the dragon's mouth? These are in the bible, Book of Revelation, chapters 12, 13, 16 and 17. Again, not a troll question, but I don't see how even a Biblical literalist can see this as anything but symbolic.
