Of course I agree that an atheist /non Christian stance on the Bible should be incredulity. It is only through reasoning that you would consider belief and it's only through belief that it will finally make sense.
The Bible isn't the direct word of God. It's accepted by some as inspired by God, but then what does that mean? What it is is a strong record on the the subject presenting a very accurate picture which we can use to discern God's nature. Trying to read more into it than that is intentional dissmissiveness for the sake of it, and anti truth, IMO.
Therefore looking at the Bible as a non Christian isn't valid. Sure you can play games and think you have inconsistencies, but you miss the very obvious central point in doing so (stated above).
