I've been saying most of my life that "the" bible is basically a Rorschach blot used for confirmation bias for both liberal xtians and conservative xtians. Many liberals look at the "red letter" portions of the NT and want to dispense with most everything else, including the OT.
The weirdest thing about the NT is why on Earth Paul gets so much prominence. This is a guy who, even according to the narrative, never even met the character of Jesus...and yet, so many xtians seem to lean on things he wrote, even though they contradict things the character of Jesus is made to say in their stories. These people should be called Paulians.
It's cus he was a wealthy Roman citizen of the time while the Apostles were mostly poor Palestinians
