The ten commandments are useless, they are rigid and unforgiving, far from a moral guideline and far from relevant. Especially because the first, what two or three are "I am GOD kill mine ass."
Heres the trick with admitting the bible is falliable, how do you determine what parts are right and what parts are wrong? Do you ask questions, just TRY that with a priest. I've not met one that would consider second-guessing a part of the bible, or even willing to consider a part a metaphor (unless of course the priest already considered that part a metaphor in which case they would not consider it was written literally).
For example
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. -- Proverbs 22:15
Should I correct my children with a blunt object or simply point out that they are acting foolish? If I should not use a rod then why does the bible so casually use it as a metaphor?
