I don't think we are in disagreement.

You may suck at math but you probably still understand it at a basic level and know that it is a valid system of abstract thought to reach an understanding of the world around you. My point simply was that abstractions seem like total nonsense to those who are utterly incapable of grasping them. 

We make use of many abstract systems to understand the reality surrounding us and just like you suck at math, some suck at deriving meaning, concepts or lessons from stories and parables. Sometimes you point to the moon and someone will fixate on your finger.

I forgot to mention programming helps more instead of pure math, since I'm better at programming, and it really opened my eyes to the reality of Metaphysics and Christian theology.

>valid system of abstract thought
But yeah I guess this is what I want to get at. Abstraction is a necessity to understand what the heck were serious religious people, not the mere bible literalists, were trying to say to us.
