I don't know why the parables are taken so literally. There is immense wisdom to be found in all religions but over time the message just get polluted and depends on each person's intellect and intelligence to understand that. If you tell someone to pass a message to someone and so on and on. By the time it reaches 100 people it is nothing like the original message.
You have go deep in meditation and prayer to understand and feel one with these things. They are not mathematical in the sense that once you know the formula you can solve the question. Life is ever changing flux and brings new questions everyday.
There are more intellect based mystics for people who are not comfortable with prayer based religions. Buddha original message, Tantra's 112 meditations and Golden verses of Pythagoras. Yes the Pythagorean theorem Pythagoras. He was a great mystic but because of his hobby of mathematics he is mostly known for that.
I don't post much in these discussions as despite the good intentions not much good comes out of them. Same with never ending debates of theologicians. They debate and focus on trying to win the arguments but never on the inner fulfillment of one's inner soul.
Pray/meditate on these scriptures. There are many paths to God or ultimate salvation, clarity, Nirvana etc.

This entire post is nothing but fluff. Not an ounce of effort to attempt to answer the OP in any way. Astonishing how blissfully ignorant some people are.

Far from blissful and ignorant but i am sure you are not interested in spirituality and more just negating all forms of its presence. I am not a christian but i have respect for the religion and thus i made the post. I wanted to say that people should focus on what's important and core concepts. No one is saying the flinstones is real and talking snakes were part of history. Make what you will of it.
