Do a lot of Jewish traditions believe more in an allegorical bible than gentile traditions?

I saw on a channel that a Jewish woman said the bible verse not to take a mother hen with her chicks meant not to tell other women how to raise their kids when you had a difference of opinion.

Most gentiles probably think it means not to prevent others from eating eggs too after you collect your daily eggs.

If you go by a book that condones slavery, you need to take a real good hard look at yourself

I interpret the controversial verses in the bible the same way I interpret dream symbols. If you dream about killing a frog, it does not mean God wants you to kill frogs, it might mean God wants you to confront an ugly truth you don't want to accept.

I'm agnostic

I was too as a child but my pain forced me to look for God and one day I found him

Yes. Jewish traditions are more inquisitive.
