Is Allegorical Religion better than Fundamentalism?

Well, case in point, there is no Scripture. Saint Irenaeus chose, out of dozen to two dozen different Gospels, four, because, in his view, the Earth was flat with four corners, and so, there just had to be four gospels. I suppose that such is the realm of theological studies.
