That's exactly how it was with me.

My dad read me Aesop's Fables each night. So when I got read bible stories in the day I never saw the difference. Except that Aesop's were more fun and always had a clear moral to them.

That's how I have always compared Bible stories.  I saw them as not all that different from Aesop's Fables.  I was actually surprised when I found out that some people take the Bible stories as literal reporting of events.
