Buddhists get some things right and all the rest is bs.
Christians get some things right and all the rest is bs.
Jews get some things right and all the rest is bs.
Hindus get some things right and all the rest is bs.
I am only now understanding The Parable of the Net.
The kingdom of God is like a net let down into the slimy sea. After it is pulled up on the shore one has to separate the good from the bs.
What you call "bs" to me is like the central story that helps to define what is true for that group or culture. Otherwise, to most people the truth could only be defined in conceptual ways that only a few could understand.
You just now realized that all religions stem from the same source and lead to the same goal? As roads are many but they all lead to the same destination.
And so it is done because people are all different. So for each of his own has it to be catered. Or reject and mock will he, what is against his nature.

And?
So?
Look, the Bolsheviks improved literacy in their newly-constituted version of the Russian Empire. Saddam Hussein's Ba'athists elevated the standing of women in Iraqi society. Almost every belief system, no matter how noxious or malignant, gets some things right.
Who needs a parable to figure that out?
More to the point, why should we credit any belief system for merely clearing the incredibly low bar of not getting everything wrong?
And so "one has to separate the good from the bs".
Trying to talk to you people is an exercise in futility
