The word "the" is used many times in the bible, as well. Do I have to believe in god(s) to use common articles, now?
EDIT:
Not exactly. I don't "pick and choose" my beliefs from the bible. Neither would I say that everything in the bible is catagorically untrue. I simply don't consider the bible to be an acceptable source of truth. This doesn't mean that any of the words that happen to appear the bible (in whatever translation you prefer) are off limits to the rest of the world.

I believe in God but I do NOT believe in your Bible. No that does not make us its although it does make us evolved animals. Almost all the “sins” in your bible can be categorized as base animal instinct. Think on this and ponder if the reason that is may be because your desert religion was trying to keep the members of its society together by spelling out how to get along with one another in a way that separated us from whence we came (animals).
Your bible holds Truth. Artists (writers of myths included) use falsehood and illusion to express Truth. The bible itself is NOT Truth but in it some Truth is expressed just as all other religious text. Your question is from the perspective of, you either believe in the bible or you don’t believe in God, which is a very arrogant and unenlightened opinion to hold. I hope that one day you can break free of the “with us or against us” mentality and broaden your search for spiritual Truth.

That made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Human have had genders since long before the bible was written. This statement was one of the most illogical and just plain idiotic that I have ever read.
There are earlier works than the bible which refer to the human race as "man." Does that mean that the bible adheres to earlier writings of other religions? By your "logic," it does.

All the words in the bible existed before it was written. Or at least before it was translated into English. I don't believe that what is written in the bible is true, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in the words used to compose it.

Weather you believe in God or not, does not change the truth of the fact that He Is God and He created you. You may or may not believe in Him... that is part of your God given Free Will. You are a human being regardless of what you believe; because that is what He made you to be :)

What God and what's in the bible or was it the Torah or something like that or something else. Anyway if you don't believe in what that makes us, maybe it's something else, but whatever it is, it must be good or else it's bad. But whatever it is I'm sure that makes humans ITS.

Do you get to use all the inventions that man made using logical thought like computers? Or do you reject all civilization to live with god as it instructs you to do in the bible?

God gives you a choice to accept him or deny him, if you want to spend the rest of your time in hell or be with God ( in heaven) when you die. God does not force us to do anything, but we will all have to be punished for our sins.
( God Bless)

That question is too tough for me to answer - better ask your kindergarten teacher.
