I would agree up to a point. It becomes completely unnecessary and actually counter productive when illustrations and hyperbole are used in instruction manuals. This would go triple when it's instructions that your beloved children need to follow to save their immortal souls.
"God works in mysterious ways" just doesn't cut it.

I never said that God works in mysterious ways. Blunt facts would only work to a point though. You could tell someone not to commit adultery or they will die, but that will only keep them obedient as long as they're scared of threat of death. Explaining to them how important and meaningful it is to follow that command, and how strongly they need to feel about it in order to maintain their stance goes much much further. You can't do that without colorful language like illustration and hyperbole.
