Obvious or nah?
The answer is obvious. They dont believe that those stories are fictional---at least the Biblical ones.

Symbolism, Belief & Intention
The transubstantiation is the fiction that will die the hardest, but die it will.
No. It has already become symbolic and spiritualized. The intention verifies the actuality. Evidence will never trump symbolism.
