I know people who take these morals to be absolutely true and backed by the word of God.

You've got me there. I went to church 3 days a week until I was age 7 and have met many many church goers and have yet to meet just one that felt the stories in the bible were absolutely true. Now I have met many that felt the values the bible teaches is true, and I agree.
I don't need a book to teach me sticking my finger in a light socket isn't a great idea either, but reading about it can help. And while I know that illustration of the guy who does, and stands on end being shock, isn't real, I still get the moral of the story.
I think a lot people misinterpret what the bible is really trying to say and come up with some really bazaar ideas of what they think it's teaching. Thats why people go to church. To have the teaching of the bible explained. Although, I will agree today some Church's do tend to teach their own interpretations. Thats also why there are so many different denominations.
