Indeed, even though God may have inspired people to write it, they are still fallible. Furthermore, there's the whole issue of translating it and so on. It may have been edited so many times, not to mention all the cultural changes, that a lot of what is written may not mean what it appears to mean. You really need to consider when and where events are happening in the Bible when trying to figure out what is happening/being said, and why. Also, given the nature of someone who knows everything, it's only natural that God's actions are strange, when he would know all the rules (and all the exceptions) to how to do things. This means I end up giving him the benefit of the doubt on a lot of things.
Two things I find fatally contradictory (as they stand) are these: Eternal punishment/destruction. This is one thing I cannot give God a pass on, it's the one thing definitely does not fit his description. Claiming homosexuality as a sin is the other thing (given that some people are born this way, and denying it is to deny your own nature). An alternative proposed to the latter is not acting in a way opposed to your own sexual orientation. This makes far more sense.
As for people who don't agree with me, there are a lot of other things that make sense as they stand. e.g. Teachings involving love, dealing with people gently. They work very well. Finally, there is 1 Thessalonians 5:21 'Test everything. Hold on to that which is good.'. There are other statements that indicate the importance of being skeptical, rather than simply believing anything. I apply what I quoted to the Bible, and try to search for accurate translations of things that don't make sense to try to find out what was originally there. I find it sad, that the teachings in the Bible that actually encourage people to be skeptical, rational, and to think for themselves, seem to have been swept under the carpet instead of being preached and used by a great deal of Christians when they are defending their faith.
Regarding pride - It can lead to illogical thinking that makes you think you are better than you really are at doing something, and you would possibly continue thinking like this because it makes you feel good, up to the point of lying to yourself and insane troll logic, again because it makes you feel good. Without some skepticism, and realising that just because something feels nice, it doesn't mean there are no downsides to worry about.
