I see the bible as a book of allegories, stories that teach a particular aspect or morale such as altruism or kindness to take a publication that had been handed down by word of mouth for hundreds of years and translate it literally is rather retarded.
just my opinion

I don't think many people would argue against your main point. You are right in the fact that most likely several stories in the Bible actually did not happen or have been embellished. But the lesson they teach and the morals are true. In the end whether or not the events actually happened becomes irrelevant, and the lessons they teach becomes the most important.
