You might have a more favorable view of Christianity if you did what I do. I ignore 99% of the Bible and only follow the few pages of statements actually made by Christ. While there are not that many pages left after doing this they still make sense after 2000 years and still provide a moral compass which seems to be lacking for many. Adam and Eve, Noah and Jonah that got swallowed by a whale are good stories. But I've read better....
