According to the American Heritage Dictionary (4th Edition, 2006), a fable is defined as;
A usually short narrative making an edifying or cautionary point and often employing as characters animals that speak and act like humans.
According to the bible, both a donkey (Num 22:28) and a snake (Gen 3:1) are said to speak. Therefore, by definition, the bible is nothing but fable.
Why would you live your life based in what is, by definition, fable? We don't live our lives based on the Wizard of Oz, even though a lion is said to speak. We don't live our lives based on Bugs Bunny, even though a rabbit is said to speak.
What is the difference between the Wizard of Oz, Bugs Bunny and the bible, which would cause you to live your life based on fable, wherein animals are said to speak? Do you not know that snakes can't speak, since they lack vocal chords?
I fail to understand how any rational person could live their life based on something that is defined as fable.
