Most Churches teach the story of Noah, Jonah, or Moses, as stories of fact, rather than fictional stories to teach morals (like the tortoise and the hair, cinderella) . And they stick with most of these supernatural claims as possible and factual (raising a man from the dead, turning a staff into a serpent, walking on water, being swallowed by a fish and hanging out in its stomach, putting every animal on the planet onto a boat and repopulating the planet with a small family, etc..)
Yet when it comes to certain laws the Bible commands, many Christians blame the culture for why these laws were in place (women's place in society, some Christians are gay rights advocates, women's role in the church, condoning stoning, rape, kill those with a different religion)
Why not accept both as cultural rather than fact? Is it possible that some of these Bible stories are more of campfire tales to learn a lesson rather than historical fact?
