I am questioning the validity of the Bible, not hating it.

You seem to be a nice enough person. Please do me the courtesy of reading the following carefully.
(Hebrews 11:6) "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
(Proverbs 3:5) "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
(2 Corinthians 5:7) "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
I was once where you are now.
I've seen and done things that would make GG Allin blush. I'm not proud of this, but I mention it because I know that some people think True Christians™ have lived an entirely insular life and have somehow escaped all secular influence.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
We are well-educated, we've traveled, we've started businesses, we've served our country, we've been to strip clubs, we've closed bars, we've spent the night in jail, we've written books and composed music and gotten into fights and shot people and stolen stuff and etc. etc.
There comes a time when you have to take an objective look at your life, not just THIS life, but the next one, the one that will last forever.
On a dare I read the Bible. The dare was from my Mom. Guess what? It made sense. Not the first time, but the second time around I started to "get it" and by the 3rd time I was convinced.
You've spent an awful lot of time here already. Promise me this: before you post a reply to this particular thread, you will read the 1st five books of the Bible...it will take maybe 2 or 3 days.
It WILL make a difference in your life.
Yours in Christ,
