The Bible broke my faith in God

Why? You only believed in God because of the Bible? The Bible is none of the reasons I believe.

Seems to me that the most I might conclude from reading the Bible and finding things I don’t like is that this is just a book written by people telling us their particular opinions about God. I suppose I do resort to that in for at least one passage, 1 Timothy 2:12-15, which is mysogynistic to the point of being inconsistent with Paul’s own theology. I have to put that passage down to the culture whoever inserted that into the text. I don’t see that garbage as coming from God. Some Christians may be able to make explanations or excuses for it, but I cannot. The best I can say is that I don’t see it as outweighing the value of the rest of the Bible.

The things most people complain about in the Bible, I find little difficulty in accepting BECAUSE of evolution. Both paint a consistent picture of God which is not some namby pamby wimp incapable of making any hard choices.
