Christianity could be a higher order way of organizing lives

Mother Teresa had a different opinion.

I think I made it perfectly clear that I'm following you along with your everything's-a-metaphor story. I'm saying those stories don't make a lot of sense, even as metaphors, and you'd have to bend over backwards to find present day moral values in them.

It may help to realize that they were all told for centuries before they were ever written down, and most of them weren't written down with the intention to be put with all of the other stories that were written down. It's like a big pile of different books that they tried to make into one canon except they don't really go with each other all that well. There was literally a big meeting of motherfuckers to try to decide which books they were going to include in the current Bible, in which order along with which books would be left out. It doesn't tell one coherent story outside of super generalized themes like sacrifice because of this.
