I understand the reaction. The Bible is sold by a lot of churches as “the word of God”, and if it's the case, God is a lying asshole. But nowhere in the Bible it is written that the Bible is the word of God; according to the Bible the word of God is Jesus-Christ so… it may not be the right approach according to the Bible itself.

I love the Bible, I read it (almost) every day, I use it as a guide in my material and spiritual lives, I studied the story of its interpretation in the university, I even thought about making that my speciality. Yet I don't understand how someone could believe in biblical inerrancy. It's very clearly a human work, written by error-prone normal humans. I believe that God spoke to its redactors, but it's still a human work. And ours is (according to me) to listen to the voice of God through the human form; and that's why we have the Church, as it's not something one can do alone.

    I like your view.

    Though I don't do church anymore, either they worship the current incarnation of the antichrist or they're lead by weak leaders who aren't willing or capable to do what it takes to be a great leader in my experience.

    We tried a few liberal / LGBTQ lead churches and I just couldn't continue to participate. My wife kept going longer than I did but she hasn't gone in a few years.
