This is the thing that I can't wrap my head around. First, it's nowhere near 99.6 percent accurate. Second, how can believers live their lives knowing that there just might be some in accuracies or inconsistencies? As you say, shouldn't the Bible be 100 percent perfect coming from an all-knowing, all-powerful god who presumably could have made sure that it passed through the centuries untouched?

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
