Understand this Christian. Even if you did use quotes from the bible (and thank you for keeping it to a minimum), it wouldn't matter. The bible is not a reliable source. It's written by men, for men. It's a series of documents by ignorant and superstitious authors, who didn't know better at the time. It's a storybook, reflecting how society was during the time the authors lived. Some ideas written down millennia ago are still valid and wise, but most are not. Even if you look back only a century ago you can find so many absurdities regarding e.g. medicine and psychology, so why do you think that men some thousands of years ago are suddenly any wiser?
As for the Bible itself, what makes it so much more special than the Vedas, the Quaran, the Torah, the Kalevala, the Eddur, the Tipitaka, the Kojiki und so weiter?

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
