... or for guidence? Source of wisdom? How do you reconcile all the nasty bits of it when you search for G_D's Presence? Is G_D present in the Bible for you? In what ways? What other reasons do you read the Bible for?

I'm in a bit of a funk about the Bible... I still love it, but I'm really not sure about much of it... Especially knowing as much as I know about its history... Not sure how to keep looking for consolation or wisdom amidst all the other stuff.

Thanks for your thoughts,
