Just read the book of Tobit, and tell me that doesn't read like a fairy tale. Bears no resemblence to authentic scripture, but it does help us understand the Jewish mindset at the time of Jesus.

A man being swallowed and then regurgitated by a whale doesn't? God and Satan gambling with the fidelity of a righteous man doesn't sound "like a fairy tale"?

If you knew Hindu tradition regarding the symbolic meaning of The Great Fish, you'd understand what and who was discussing matters with Jonah.

Kind of interesting to find that reference in the Bible.
