Even if you think the Bible is a load of bullshit, it was written 2000 years ago - by men who witnessed the region of Canaan turning into a hyper sexualized and sodomy culture. It lead to the disintegration of society then. We will again, learn this lesson the hard way.

Some much older, some much newer. Then theres the translation debates

The problem is remembering that the bible isn't just "a" book. It's a mini library

The new testament was written after Jesus's death. In some cases a long time after

Huh, I didn't know the New Testament wasn't part of the Bible.

Does this position have a name? I've heard of a few different positions on validity of various books but not this specific one before.

That is my stance on the Bible.Jesus is the redeeming feature of the Bible.

Is there any contradiction in Jesus's word and Paul's word? I happen to quite like a lot of what Paul wrote. Christianity without it seems rather bare.

I'm not religious, but I do believe what you said that it's some sort of historical record & rulers drew social rules from those experiences.
