if this were true then why not build the perfect protagonist?
or one that follow the typical story arch?
why have the protagonist keep failing the same trial over and over and over again? All it does is undermine the character of the person who is supposed to be the moral standard.. This reeks of real life people and real life failures.
If a story's protagonist fails to learn a great moral lesson over and over again yet holds himself up to be the hero, he become little more than a hypocrite.. So why is Abraham not the father of hypocrisy? if what you say is true?
Some day, maybe you'll actually take a class and learn about ancient Near Eastern literature, and stop practicing the street level common error that amateurs do all the time ... "presentism".

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
