Yes. That's why I'm an atheist.
I know that a God who commands his followers to hurt and kill people is NOT good, moral, or loving.

Yes... I spend years and years in bible study and research. I understand the metaphorical, observable and spiritual levels of the bible.

Not completely, but I'm getting there.
I asked my parents to get me a Bible when I was 7 years old and I've been reading and studying it ever since.
In case you are wondering how old I am, note that I'm a Veteran of the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

Yes, I do, for the most part.
I believe that each person interprets the Bible according to his/her own experience.
I believe that different passages mean something different to different people. It depends on what you are going through or have been through.

Somewhat. I try to read some of it everyday. I want very much to understand it.

I understand it's a complete work of fiction and shouldn't be taken literally.
