I believe in Jesus and God and heaven and that whole shabang, and I believe that many of the Bibles stories are morals to help guide are lives. Okay?

Playing the corrupt church card doesn't really reset the argument back to nought. You have your own, altered belief system. I wouldn't call it Catholicism. Catholicism is built on quite a clear foundation of beliefs. If you aren't going to make yourself compatible with all of them it's pointless calling yourself Catholic because in doing so you're identifying with what you correctly pointed out is quite a corrupt church.

Your beliefs in my opinion are still totally whimsical considering it comes down to the scientific, tight shipped tour de force of "I believe these bits and not these bits because ... well I feel like it I guess" but obviously that's an argument destined for going in circles so I won't bother with it.
