But how do we go about determining which parts are the errors, and which parts are the real divinely inspired parts? It seems to me that the people that take this view tend to either:
A. find the parts that back up the views they already hold are the real parts, or
B. find the parts that make them feel good are the real ones.
I find neither to be particularly more reliable than just randomly drawing verses out of a hat.

The book (and other books) do have some good moral lessons. But to find them, you also have to pick through a ton of bad moral lessons on slavery, genocide, conquest, etc.

Besides, you are already able to tell that there are good moral lessons in the book. Why do you need the book to tell you what the good moral lessons are, if you already know they are morally good?
