What's in your control, however, is to stop believing the biblical rubbish to have any semblance of realistic truth to it.
Perhaps. But the arguments I have investigated so far regarding certain topics covered in scripture, such as the nativity, have not sufficiently convinced me to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Mind you, there are plenty of areas of scripture that I am convinced are not meant to be taken literally. For example, the Old Testament laws being literally dictated by God contradicts Jesus' own teachings as per the New Testament.
