If we have to decide for ourselves which parts of the bible no longer apply, and which moral teachings are now irrelevant or simply false, then we are just comparing the bible to our own innate morality.
Which is exactly what every single religious person does, unless they attempt to follow it to the letter (which makes you a dangerous radical).
I dare you to go through the bible and highlight what things God says, does and commands that you think represent good moral behaviours today, and which don't. Use red for horrible and green for go go go yes I think we should do this. See what colour your bible ends up mostly being.
