Turned it the wrong way? Like it or not, your SUPPOSED to live word for word by it! That is the cornerstone of Christianity! The authority, if you like. It's not a pick and mix book! Surely if you DONT believe in all of it, no matter how good your intentions are, you dont believe in all of Christianity. Therefore by proxy your not a complete Christian. Why worship a hit and miss?
You also raise another good point : Their are numerous contradictory versions of the Bible out their.

They took it way too seriously, that's what I meant. I believe in most of Christianity but living today and then reading the Bible made me asking some questions. I'm not an extremist to think EVERYTHING in the Bible is true, we know some parts are confusing and may have been misrepresented with the whole time thing. I read it and I have made my mind about it. I won't go down the streets claiming being gay is bad, witches should be burnt and everything else but the Church should be banned. No. What the Bible and my religion education taught me is that we should help and accept everyone the way they are and give full love.
I don't respect extremists because at the end of the day, it hurts people and something it's shameful to be a Christian when I see things like that. People should really not think we're all like that.
