Well of course we do.

The Bible is full of all kinds of terrible human behavior.

It's part of the point.

None of the heroes of the Bible are watered-down; they're all real human beings like you and I.

Abraham lied.  
Moses murdered a man and ran away.  
David committed adultery and then had the innocent husband killed.  
And so on. And so on.

The apostles and disciples of Jesus? They betrayed him, abandoned him, and denied knowing him.

It's like human beings need some kind of saving or something.

And that's the point: We need help. And so God sent someone to do something about it, and to give us that help.

The Bible doesn't gloss over the truth: it tells it.

Good response and well thought out. My main point on my post was about the people that heavily cherry pick passages from the bible to support their personal bigotry though. They'll firmly state shit like "The Bible says gay people can't do this" or whatever but that's like. The only message they take away from it yknow? They don't have the same strength of opinion when it comes to the classic examples people say, like no fish on Sundays and no polyester clothes or whatever
