Sorry to butt in, but I couldn't resist this one comment of yours:

"You're a Christian? Not to judge you or anything, but Your first paragraph says how much you disagree with the Bible. A Christian believes the Bible to be the word of God and it cannot be wrong."

Well, I've run into a lot of christians in my time, and have gotten into many a hearty discussion with them about religion. The funny thing is, MOST of the christians I've met believed the bible was a collection of stories which contain, among other things, many flaws, contradictions, and problematic world-views. The majority of them were not so adamant about the bible being the revealed word of god. None claimed it was flawlessly right and pure.
Gosh, I can't even think of an ordained priest who would make such a bold claim. Maybe perform a few polls before you start popping words into the mouths of 2 billion people. Or are you redefining the term christianity to exclude such "infidels"?
