Adam > No objection to "belief in a higher power." The specifics of what I object to are mentioned in the quoted text.

Apologies to everyone else, I simply HAVE to answer.  

You're both right, Adam.  The Bible contains contradictions and mistakes caused by humans, it has sometimes been mistranslated and, because humans do the interpreting, has often been misinterpreted.  But it's the 100% truthful and inspired word of God.  They're not mutually exclusive.
