@Zeus- The ressurection of Jesus, whether literal or not, is an example in story form of how God could and does work in this world. Essentially, I don't know if it really happened, but with God it could have. I do believe that Jesus really did exist and really did ressurect from the dead, but I don't know for certain. No one can.
God is literal. He is the literal being that the allegory is pointing towards.
As for not believing in Christianity to be Christian...no. You have it wrong. I believe in Christianity; its principles, its teachings, its messages. I do not believe that the stories within have to be literal to be believed in. I believe the message those stories are trying to teach, I don't believe the events actually occured.
