Is God really real or are people simply deluded?

Oh yeah, many of them are utter hypocrites. They live their life just like an atheist. Which is great, I'm not complaining. I want them to be as far as possible away from their bible, because it makes them better people.

The only way they are not hypocrites is if they don't claim that the bible is divinely inspired. Then they're just sort of spiritual jesusites or something, vaguely calling themselves christian.

They "believe in believing" but clearly do not actually believe praying is gonna do shit, so they do it as an afterthought to real medicine.

I know a Christian who believes Bible is inspired (the over all story, theme, teachings) but that a lot of is untrue, for example, he disagrees what the Bible states about homosexuals.

They think the bible is divinely inspired, but partly untrue? Well, I can only conclude they think that God gets things wrong then. The fact that he did so in the only reference we have about him makes God seem doubly stupid.

What your friend really means (in my opinion) is that they like the idea that it's divinely inspired, but they are still going to ignore bits that don't line up with their own morality. You know, what every religious theist does.
