Is "god" allegory, then? I already asked this...you seemed to be responding to that question. If those men didn't exist as portrayed you have a huge..gaping problem with the claims of your faith. If this is all allegory.......then your religion is directly equivalent to Dr Suess as far as moral instruction is concerned, just for starters. There's no need for this particular allegory, when another will suffice (and there's no shortage). I could also point to a great many allegororical stories meant to express, communicate, or illuminate some moral proposition held by me or by another which have nothing at all to do with a god.
