Why bother believing any of it then? Pick what you like, toss out what you think is bad, and make up your own faith based on Human experience. After all, we know better then God what works for us.

To me, you either take it as a matter of faith or you don't. There will be differences in what things mean of course, just like there is with the Constitution. But those who have a core belief will live by it, those who don't will only wish to attack it and change the meanings. What has happend to our country is happening to the bible as well - distort the founding documents and make up things as you go along.

Which pretty much opens the door for the things you rail aginst.

I think you should have chosen a more competent God who ought to be able to, out of all possible creatures, craft unambiguous writing to it's nth degree. Alas, he seems to write like a self-educated goat herder. Coincidence?
