“…it’s just a story…”

Unless you were a witness to many, many events, everything you know came to you as a story. This would include everything you ever learned from a book, what you might see on the evening news, and everything your parents told you about your family. These are all “…just stories…,” meaning it is reported to you. Accounts aren’t less true because they are stories.

The story of Jesus is really about whether or not one believes He is who He claimed to be: the Son of God.

John 3:16 makes it clear that this is what the story is about.

Christ is about peace and love and acceptance? Are you suggesting with such an opened ended touchy, feely remark that Christ was Ok with sin?

The story of Jesus is really about his death, burial, and resurrection to atone for the sins of the world, including bit’s and yours.
