This might make some people mad at me, but I love stories from the Bible that can be interpreted not as "divine intervention" or as "miracles on account of faith", but as simple decency.

There's the one where Jesus goes to speak to this huge crowd, and it's a lot bigger than anyone expected, and so they don't have any food around. So these people are getting hungry, and eventually either a little kid comes forth or somebody finds something or whatever but they end up with two loaves of bread and a fish for like a thousand people.

And in the actual story/myth, Jesus prays over the bread and fish and passes it around and miraculously, even after everyone's eaten, at the end they've still got two loaves of bread and a fish.

But until I was maybe 10 (and this is the version I ascribe to now), I always thought it had nothing to do with miracles. It was just that the first person in line looked at the bread and fish and realized that this was all that kid had to eat, and he gave it up 'cause he thought it would help. And so they said, "Well, I'll be fine, really..." and passed it on.

And the second person got it, and looked at the food, and looked at the kid, and looked at the first person, and said, "Well, I know I'll be fine, but I think I have some cheese in my pocket, in case there's someone who won't be fine and doesn't have anything." And so they added that and passed it along, and so on down the line. And some people added, and some people took, and at the end they were left with two loaves of bread and a fish.

I really like this interpretation! But I'm not Christian or religious :X

AYRT: I'm not either, which is why I like it. There's another one.... The story of King Solomon and the baby, where two women approach King Solomon with a baby, and the first one says, "This baby is mine!"

And the second one says, "No, she's lying! It's mine!" And they start to squabble. King Solomon eventually says, "Okay, okay, you're both really sincere. So here's what we'll do. Go get my sword, and I'm gonna chop the baby in half. That way everybody gets an equal share."

The second woman says, "Yup, sounds fair. Go for it."

The first woman, on the other hand, says, "No, no, no! It's hers, she can have it, just please don't hurt the baby."

And King Solomon, of course, awards the baby to the first woman, since she wanted the child hurt less than she wanted the child.
