Nothing is really provable. The bible is full of oddness and inconsistency, but if you must tie your identity to your reading of a book, do it. It doesn't matter, except that you behave rationally (evaluate the problems world and the people around as they really are, as best you can), and decently (try to fix said problems). If you want to use the bible as an excuse to stone gays to death cos god says so then I'll oppose you because in my eyes that's utterly irrational and hateful. If you say it's between then and god, and take happiness in their happiness to be who they are while we share a planet, even if you don't understand it or agree with it, there's no point of friction between us. I use sexuality merely as an example, there are many others. Do as you will, just be decent, kind, rational.
