That wouldn't be the first time I was called an apologist. The fact is I'm not saying the bible is entirely an account of actual events in every word, nor am I saying it's completely void of truth. I personally don't derive my morals from the Bible, on a side note. Actually classifying myself as a Christian simply means I follow the nicene creed. True, it does derive some of it's assumption on the Bible, but it doesn't state we have to translate the Bible literally. In fact there is no mention of the Bible in it, probably specifically for that reason.
I personally feel the Bible is a collection of morales, stories and perception of people that were inspired by God and translated by man. At it's basist belief then I am an apologetic in that sense. However the connotation behind that states that I'm trying to apologize for years of people literally translating and non-believers lack of understanding it. I don't. The fact non-believers refuse the holy spirit which would allow them an accurate translation of the bible is not really my concern. I didn't come here to preach.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
