I had a "spiritual quest" phase, and concluded after enough dabbling that there's great wisdom in the old stories, which undoubtedly grew out of oral histories told around the fire before the written word.
I'm not an evangelical, looking to secure a place in Paradise upon my passing, although it would be great if my respect for the (reported) teachings of Jesus did so, because he's the archetype for being a good person that was drilled into my head as a young person. Use the brains God gave you to see the world as it is, and use the love in your heart to chose how to behave and what to believe. Love tells you what is good, and reason tells you what is.
If that's your takeaway, then all the other jazz is just bedeviling, unnecessary detail.
I'm not God. The people around me aren't God. So we're all in this, together, and should treat each other right.
