Not religious but I think it’s a mixture of both. Like was Jesus a real person in history and a good guy? Yeah probably. Did he walk on water? Fuck no lmao. Same with Noah’s Ark for example. There probably was a flood, but not a flood that literally flooded the entire earth and killed everything. It was probably just based on a pretty big flood
I mean I remember even as a kid being more concerned that God would literally kill the whole world besides two of every species then tell people that killing people is bad. And send that angel to peoples houses to kill their first born unless they had blood on their door or whatever it was. I asked questions my whole life since elementary school and never got any real answers.
Yeah that’s why I don’t like getting into debates about what the Bible does and doesn’t mean. People will take from it what they want, and the Bible contradicts itself all the time. Not to mention it was written decades after everything supposedly went down The only real concrete lessons are the ones where Jesus or God flat out says what they mean. The rest is so up to interpretation and since it’s based on memory alone is probably not even accurate
