Think back to when you were a child. Were you the same or different around your friends, as you were around your parents?
With God out of your 'view' you can be who you truly are for a while. That way when your judgement comes you will know without doubt that your judgement is indeed just.

Did you read the book? Or are you in open disagreement with Bart on this point? He says the oppsite. In that the bible has several critical irreconsiable errors that disqualify it as the word of God.
That disqualify it as the word of an infallible perfect god, yes.
And yes, I read the book a few months ago... but, being a bit ignorant of the bible itself, I couldn't analyze as well as you may.
