I thought this was an interesting point made by robvalue on this matter from his thread "The Bible...why take it seriously?" (Sorry, I don't know how to quote from a different thread)
"What christians actually do with the bible now is they act on the parts they think are good, and they ignore (or try to argue away) the bits they don't think are good. So what they are really doing, is just doing what they think is good anyway, and using the bible as evidence that they are right. This shows that they do indeed have their own morals, and don't need a book to tell them what they are."
Oh also Welcome!! *emoticons depicting a pile of cookies and what not*

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
