I kinda skepticized it. (Almost like capsizing.)

In my favorite places I have
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/
the Skeptics Annotated Bible

and on that site are search features and a list of contradictions within the
Bible.

One thing all Baptists are taught and repeat ad nauseum is that the Bible is
perfect and never contradicts itself.

The list of contradictions on that site is up to 312 now.

The problem with TOTALLY absolute statements is that one exception makes the
whole thing false. They worship the book itself, pretty much. And they're
always telling people to read it! Read the whole thing! Read every night!
If I hadn't read it, I could have maintained the facade with them that it
answers any question anyone might have, and it never contradicts itself.

It's a good religion for people who want life to be simple and who want to
hang around with others who say they read the whole Bible, but really don't.
Or maybe they just sound out the words without going for comprehension.
