You can point out all you want fringe elements and form your opinion about the faithful all you want. I'm not here to convert you, I'm not here to discuss faith.
I don't believe all of the Bible. I don't believe in Noah and the Ark, I don't believe God made Eve from Adam's Rib. I don't believe in most of Genesis. Now you will point out how if some can't be taken literally than none of it can. Unfortunately you miss the entire point. The Bible tells us there is a being greater than us, whom wishes us to be good to one another, and will right the wrongs of the world in the end. That if we live right, love one another, and try to make the world better we will live happily ever after.
You see this as childish, maybe it is. However I'd much rather believe in this than believe there is no point our existence other than some sort of evolutionary hick-up, and in the end all we'll be is a dead body.
