The moral lessons make sense, or the stories make sense?
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That makes sense."
Or
"God made the world in a week. That makes sense."
The validity or relevance of the moral lessons in a book don't make the rest of the book true. If, say, The Lord of the Rings ended with the sentence "By the way, this really happened," I wouldn't believe it-- despite the arguably useful moral lessons found inside.
(Don't trip over the word "book." Substitute "dogma" or any other word that fits)
