    Although, that may also just be what I make if it
I would agree with you in that your explanation above is simply how you individually view it. However I do agree with you that They are all moralistic stories. Regardless of if these stories happened or not, they speak what I believe to be truth as to how we are meant to live. And that's all that really matters. And you're right. A person could get all their answers from great philosophers. I'm not trying to put one over the other in this regard. Where I think religion though has a benefit it that if I'm not mistaken, all of them take into account the afterlife. But that's an entirely different discussion.
