Why do Christians trust the Bible?

[Chad32]

Cultural snowball effect. You grow up doing what adults say, on pain of punishment, and maybe you respect the opinions of people who have been aroudn the block a lot longer than you. in general this is a good idea, because kids can learn a lot of things from adults.

I didn't question my grandmother about these things because I assumed if there were such obvious flaws in the book, she would have picked up on it. You would be shunned at best, and killed at worst, for rocking the religious boat too much, so people just go along with it. It's especially easy in more moderate or liberal circles, because you're not going to hear about a gang beating a gay person to death in the street in my home town.
