It's possible to question the literal veracity of a lot of the stories in the Bible and still be a Christian. I am more of a new-agey agnostic, myself, but I think there is a lot of wisdom in Jesus' actual teachings.

You might look into taking a comparative religion course, or talking to an open-minded Christian clergy-person or someone well-versed in religion (I'd suggest finding an Episcopalian priest or Unitarian minister; or heck, our own Lebell) and talk to them about some of your questions. There's absolutely nothing wrong with rejecting Christianity, but I'd hate to see you do it just because you have questions that aren't answered to your satisfaction. I had my questions answered and then still rejected it, but that's a different story. But at least I made an educated decision.
