I personally think some of the comments on this site can get pretty ridiculous at times, more importantly, they can utterly obliterate an otherwise important message. However, you know what is said about opinions and how they are like a particular body part (everybody’s got one, and they all stink). The thing I have seen that truly ruins credibility is when atheists/agnostics/whatever pontificate about the Bible, yet they don’t believe in it in the first place.

What if the bible is in fact made up to control you? Would that make you the biggest 'body part?' You can't answer that because the problem with faith is it disallows you from even considering that what you believe in could be wrong.
That’s true of blind faith. I prefer to be an Acts 17:11 kind of guy.
How do you decide if something in the scriptures is true?
That’s for each individual to decide on their own. My point with the post is it’s silly to argue about what scripture does and doesn’t say if you don’t believe in it in the first place. As I’ve commented elsewhere here, that’s like arguing about what color male unicorns are when you don’t believe in unicorns in the first place.
It's not like arguing about that at all. It's like someone telling you they read an ancient account that male unicorns are white with shades of purple therefore that is the truth and you doubting the veracity of the account.
