Re: Symbols as metaphors, not as facts
If the "Bible's Fables" = "Aesop's Fables" thats fine, we can stop explaining that it is fiction.
I have never heard of anybody claim that.
Also I believe most of Aesop's fables teach morally positive lessons, unlike the horrific morality of the Bible's Fables.
Similarly, there is no Church of Aesop (that I know off), that actively encourages transmission of Aids, Homophobia, sexism, retarding of scientific progress etc etc.
So, broadly speaking, I welcome your interpretation.
