But most miracles aren't in that category.

On the one hand - the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and what that means for us is a core tenet of my Christianity, as is the idea that humans can literally commune with God - so dropping those would be impossible. But for the rest - what is important is more what you can learn from the stories not what literally happened.
