You got it right. I'll take a piece from a post I made a couple of months ago in another thread. What I generally think of the Bible:

Nice thread. First of all, I'd like to point out that the bible is not just a book. It hasn't been refered to as the Holy Bible for centuries for nothing, people. This is more than just a book. And may I add, there are a lot of great things mentioned in there. And sometimes I would just wish for people to pay attention to that more, and see..
And then I don't mean all the history tales, because that's mere literature for the ones interested. But if everyone would pay attention to the fine points of life that's described in there, and actually think about them for a change, then this world would become a much better place.
The bible contains a lot of wisdom. And too much of it is neglected, ignored and for what? For the same thing happening in this thread. Religion. Groups and cults form and make it their own. ... |
I also think that as it has been passed on from human to human for so many centuries, that it has deviated from the original texts a bit. How much, and what, can't be determined. I figure that all the things that generally make sense are pretty head on.
Heretical Bible 
It's archbishop Rowan Williams, of course.
