Well, just picking one at random I came up with
1 TIM 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
According to your skeptic "If we follow this advice we would ignore most of the Bible -- especially the genealogies found in Gen.10, 1 Chr.1-9, Mt.1, and Lk.3. ".
There's only one problem, it's not advice for us today. If you have an open mind read on. Paul was writing to Timothy. Paul wrote that he had hoped that Timothy would make a stop at Ephesus to order to tell certain people to stop teaching a different doctrine, or to pay any attention to their stories and long lists of genealogies which they were giving in order to proclaim their authority and ultimately mislead new Christians.
That's just one random annotation. Given enough time I could rend the others piece by piece because the Bible is infallible. People like you look at these sites that take no time to do any real research and let them reinforce your preconceived notions that there is no God so you can ease your conscience. Not everything (in fact, hardly anything) in the Bible is a direct instruction for us to do today i.e. "giving heed to fables and endless genealogies."

The verses seem correct, but he puts his own "spin" or interpretation on them (after totally disregarding the context, of course).

For example, he pokes fun at "righteous Noah" because Noah made the mistake of getting falling down drunk ONCE in his life (implying that God has a double standard). He never notices that the Bible says that God forgives sinners (if they are truly sorry). Instead of noticing that Moses was honest enough to portray Noah accurately, warts and all, this guy faults the Bible for presenting "tarnished heroes" (I.E.: human heroes - not super human saints).

I admit that some of the passages quoted are hard to understand, but this does not seem to be a fair attempt to understand what the Bible really means. It sounds more like a smart-mouth kid having a temper tantrum.

In other words, it is a bit too much, even for a septic.

.....edit...........

Rather accurate portrayal of the Bible's views on homosexuality, right? So much for liberal Christians that want to ordain Gay ministers and gay bishops....

Alright, how about the number of sons Abraham had. He had two sons, one of a servant and one from his wife. Shortly after, he basically disowned the son bore to him from the servant. Therefore, he was left with only one true son. At the time he was going to sacrifice Isaac to God, he was his only son. It wasn't until afterward the he was given more children.
