Wacky Wednesday--The Bible Can't Be Trusted

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~The text itself is historically unreliable. It’s just a bunch of legends added later by the church leaders.
~There are all sorts of contradictions and conflicting accounts in the Bible.
~The Bible was written by and believed by primitive, naïve people.

~The Bible describes impossible things happening like people being raised from the dead and a guy walking on a large body of water.
~The Bible is socially and morally regressive, endorsing polygamy, child abuse, and slavery.
