I personally believe that the Bible is the key to truth about yourself, and it has stories that give you lessons for your day-to-day life, but don't take it to seriously. May I remind you that the Bible (in Leviticus) says that you have to make a daily animal sacrifice.
Yep. Unless you're doing all that crazy stuff set out in Leviticus and Deuteronomy (like not mixing fabrics, marrying your brother-in-law's widow, etc. etc.), then you're picking and choosing from the Bible. Frankly, everyone does it.
