How ever the story is presented it is a keeper if there is some kind of life lesson to it, or if they reveal some kind of truth about the world we live in. I am not saying just because it is "religion" it is automatically flawless.

For me it's almost an impossible task to sift through four millennia of human history to show Judaeo-Christianity isn't as bad as people make it out to be. As for me if there are few things I can gleam from it then it has some worth. Things like peace, love and understanding.
