I like the teachings of Jesus, but the stories of the dead being raised, walking on water, feeding thousands with a handful of food, water turning into wine and all that....
I mean there's no extraBiblical record of any miracles - anywhere!
And if those miracles actually, really happened, one would surely think that at least ONE of the forty or so historians in Palestine during the time of Christ, who recorded mundane things as well, would have mentioned one of them.
And of course, no one has ever seen miracles like these in today's real world, even though Jesus said that believers would do even greater things than He did. I mean, there's claims of "invisible" miracles (healings, etc) but nothing Biblical or that cannot be explained by scientific means.
So would God understand why Christians would see the miracles of the Bible as metaphor only?
To include the virgin birth also.
