> Do you support all the barbaric teachings in it, like stoning your daughter when she lost her virginity before marriage? Is that a truth we should blindly follow?
John 8:7 pretty clearly obsoletes that. So yeah, I'm still happy to follow what the Bible actually says.

That was just one example of harmful content, there is plenty more.
Why follow a book with contradicting messages?
Why not create a new book with clear positive messages only that doesn’t confuse ppl or doesn’t encourage them to kill or oppress others.
It’s better to come up with a new book which teaches ppl how to live in harmony and working together without instilling fear, guidelines based on science and using simple language.
You could say the human brain and the scientific process is God’s gift… use it rather than blindly following the words of some powerhungry and controlling folks from the past.
