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.
The little red hen is a favorite of mine.
No. God is not allegory. And the allegorical parts were in the Old Testament only. The New Testament and the teachings of Christ are absolutely historically real. ...Well, that is what I believe anyway lol.

I sincerally apologize if you have felt I was condescending towards you. That was not my intent at all.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
