Are you aware that most of the stories in the Jewish Bible are believed to be fictional, and there is no historical record that attests to them ever taking place?
PrevNode LinkNextYes, I'm fully aware of that, and I think it does not matter too much. Quoting from an essay I wrote:
A great hacker is an action hero that is aware enough of the essence of hacking to become a greater and greater hacker, despite whatever limitations he or she may have, and despite whatever setbacks they may run into.
Note that some great hackers were clearly fictional (e.g: Yoda, Darth Vader, Milady de-Winter, Miss Piggy, or even Fluttershy ), some were female (e.g: Sarah Bernhardt, Ayn Rand, and Taylor Swift) and some were underage (most notably Samantha Smith, Shirley Temple, and Macaulay Culkin ).
So don't let anything stop you.
Just because a story or a saga are fictional, it does not invalidate the fact that we can enjoy them, learn from them, use them for inspiration, and analyse them.
I don't take the Bible as gospel and still enjoy it. On the other hand, some religious "atheists" take it as "counter-gospel" which I find is as philosophically immature as taking it as gospel.
