The Bible (in my opinion) is a wonderful story of human morality, and should be used as any self help book should. But, think about it. There are a minimum of three(3) major versions of this book, and they are not the same. How can one be accurate, and others be incorrect.
I have come to accept the books as a great resourse for many people, and respect them for what they are. The issues come about when they are taken too literally, and differing opinion creates societal problems.
In short, sure they are accurate, when taken in the right context. But they are by no means a "textbook on God", To me. Any more than the Koran, The book of Mormon, or any other spiitual text may be.
The point people are making here (I think) is that it is unlikely that humans, could translate, copy, and orally transmit ANY information with accuracy over a two thousand year period. Damn, just look at a history text from 1950 and compare it to one from today, same history, different take.
