Not that the Bible is wrong at all, but where does one draw the line between believing in God existing, and believing that the contents of the Bible are never corrupted? What would even stop one from not corrupting the Bible, especially given that everything else in our lives is corrupt? If I remember, some of the content of the Bible was literally added on later when KJV came out by one dude, from England, so who is to say divine inspiration wasn't used in other parts for either population control, personal beliefs or whoever knows what else?

The Holy Bible is completely unreliable and contradictory based on many things it says. Lots of things were omitted from the canon, in particular lines that Jesus supposedly wrote himself - left out completely because it undermined the Church.

The book should not be a source of proof of anything. It can be used as a life manual or perhaps a book of quotes and interesting tales and mostly irrelevant demands put onto people at the time based on the circumstances they were living in. It's a book of allegory. The book is irrelevant to your connection to God, if such a thing is real. Christians believe that the only way to God is through Christ. Many translate this into worshipping Christ. Some translate this into becoming Christ-Like. Some even believe that Christ is God. At this point, it would be difficult for any rational God to blame you for being confused, else we're all doomed.

Where you go and how you get there is entirely up to you. You will find the way.

The Bible itself even states that you don't need to go to church to be a Christian, so the parts that are considered canon and left in, still undermine the current day church. Corporate Christianity is just another corrupt entity praying on the weak and misunderstood

True, a lot of the circumstances of the time belong to tribes that don't even exist anymore. And given the time, a lot of the rules made complete sense ... for the time. In today's world, they make no sense, and are wildly prohibitive to being a functional person. A great example, I mentioned to my girlfriend, if i had to treat her based off what the NT says on dating, i would need to marry her tomorrow, and touching her hand, kissing her, french kissing her, hugging her tightly , etc would all be considered sinful nature.

Whilst possible, it would be considered horribly impractical in today's dating world to apply these rules, especially given she had a complete mental breakdown when i did this for less than a week, because her body was withdrawing from the lack of intimacy

At this point, it would be difficult for any rational God to blame you for being confused, else we're all doomed.

In a way, Satan likes to hide in the open, and as such creating so much confusion would be the easiest way to have people denounce there is a God. However, this also begs the question, how do you fix a society which needs religion and ethno centric ideals to survive, without knowing yourself what is and is not righteous in scripture?
