Biola University’s Articles of Faith are pretty stupid.
Like: The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are without error or misstatement in their moral and spiritual teaching and record of historical facts. They are without error or defect of any kind.
Or perhaps they are cleverly attracting new students by convincing them that everyone at Biola is on LSD when they believe that the book that endorses slavery and claims that God drowned the entire world, sparing one family on a boat with all of the animal species, is morally and historically correct.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
