"There is a difference in believing the bible is fiction and taking it from a fictional perspective."
This sentence is entirely nonsensical. You can take lessons from fictional books sure, they often teach important life lessons (the bible doesn't, unless you want to believe that incest is fine or that there is a god who is weirdly obsessed with how and when humans have sex). But we don't actually believe that what occurred in these books is real. That would be like reading a Stephen King novel and believing that a demon clown exists on a spiritual plain and is dragging spiritual kids into stormwater drains. And that we can hear the screams of those spirit kiddies in our dreams and that they are real and attempting to communicate with us from the demon clown spirit realm.
If you are going to believe one thing in the bible, then you can't claim that other aspects of the bible are wrong. This is an all or nothing exercise. And we know that the bible is fiction. No man came back from the dead. No man performed miracles. A lady didn't have sex with the creator of the universe and give birth to He-Man ("I HAVE THE POWER!!).
