Reading the Bible as Fables appropriate for children is a terrible injustice !

In teaching children there are age appropriate ways in doing such. Later as they mature they learn to comprehend metaphor distinction, allegory and parables if they remain in the pursuit of what the bible is to us and the purpose for which it was intended, God's letters to His children. It is Jesus who calls us to Him and it is the Holy Spirit who guides us in this relationship.Using the word fable is disquieting in applying it to the bible, in my opinion.
Quoting: Mickeyblue Yeah it is but most people read the Bible as such and not as a book GIVEN by God. "The two ”Trees” in the Garden were not the kind of trees we know. The fruit of the trees was not an apple, fig, date or grape. Any reference to these by our Sages is purely metaphorical with the intent of teaching moral lessons, as did Aesop in ancient Greece. The Bible speaks with child-like simplicity. To those who have minds like children. Those who are more educated realize this and see through the fable-like language to the real essence of the story."
