Unfortunately, in this day were people are functionally illiterate when it comes to religious doctrine, many are suckered into the myth that in order to be a devout Christian one must accept everything contained within scripture in its literal sense. The truth is the Bible was only intended to be a guide concerning faith and morals, and the New Testament abrogates many Old Testament passages of legality and draconian punishment.
With that said many within the Christian fold, especially the fundamentalist evangelicals take the Bible literally and assume that every detail must be taken at face value. Beyond faith and morals, evangelicals make the Bible an authority on science (hence the whole creationist/intelligent design vs. evolution debate), on politics (somehow justifying American democracy on its precepts), and even going so far as to use it as an instrument to tell the future (hence the doomsday prophets and the Left Behind fiction series).
Truth is the Bible isn’t a book whose every facet illuminates truths we should follow. The corpus of scripture is filled with the culture perceptions, understandings, and prejudices of the time. Much of the books that comprise the Bible are inundated with metaphor and allegory. Given all of this, to take the Bible at face value, as if it were a clear instruction manual on everything, would be folly. It’s this predilection towards literalism, by the religious right that has made my faith look so patently absurd.

No, if you ask a Christian of course that doesn't MAKE it true, but the Bible says it because it IS true.

Not at all, the Bible condoned slavery ...we see that as immoral today, The Bible condoned treating women as chattels we do not accept that today, the Bible condemned usury but today everybody has a bank account.
The things that your liable to read in the Bible really ain't necessarily so, it's not the great moral guide it's touted to be at all..not at all.

If someone murdered your loved ones-wife, children, parents, best friends etc. for the cause of a dictator, who in turn is planning on wiping out you & your country, what would you do(assuming your of the targeted country)? Especially if you were the leader & privy to this info and already took a hit from the source, knowing they aren't fooling around.

I believe that the Bible is God's life manual for us. When I chose to put my faith in Jesus, I also decided to take the Bible seriously.

If Dr. Phil says something, does that make it true? I mean, he claims to be an authority, just like the Bible does....

No. The sun does not go around the earth, for instance (Joshua 10:12-13), and it's not likely that Balaam's donkey actually talked to him (Numbers 22:22-34).

as long as you believe that the earth is flat, 2 of every animal can fit on a boat, and pi = 3
Good luck trying to get a degree in engineering!
