The fault lies in the beholder.

Check any fundamentalist blog and you'll see that the contradictions and inaccuracies are only apparent contradictions and apparent inaccuracies.

Yes, but it is a divine book where the divine Author made those reading to look like errors and/or contradictions for self-aggrandisement and entertainment, when there was a honourable way to put it absolutely clear so that nobody would even blink in suspicion!
My rule of thumb on those issues is: the more you defend the Bible the less I believe it.

...by observing that the claim is absurd. It's just a fuckin' book.

It's only a book, all right, but I have pairs of JWs pestering my street every month, dressed with elegance to kill the inattentive.
When I see them I run to lock the three gates to my mansion.

Well sir if in Anthro 101 day one we learn that the mythology is for the survival and prosperity of the tribe freedom of religion is naturally wrong and likely only found in marouding artless civilizations who once were called 'flat earthers,' but that was before Galileo found the ark on this metaphor.

It doesn't, according to inerrantists. They say you just think it does because you need an excuse for not doing what God wants you to do.

A suit to sue a Church Leader for cheating and lying if that church leader honestly believed the bible was true and if it was not true what would constitute a basis for such a case.

Every document either is, was,has or once had an original. Even if there is no original there was at one time.

Exactly. The Bible was written error-free by a perfect God. Therefore, if someone sees something in it which they think is an error, this is due to a comprehension problem resulting from their imperfect mortal mind and not due to any actual errors in the text, because it doesn't have any errors.

It's simple logic.

From my comment in Sun Stopping...

Does Dylan have any errors?

No! No! No!

It's only fallible human beings like you who fail to clearly see the meaning in every word, clause, sentence and verse of the holy scriptures. God did his level best to communicate with humans, but most of them are too obtuse to recognize the truth.

Check out your radio on Sunday morning (or Saturday if you're a Seventh Day Adventist) and you'll hear people describe in detail the true meaning of every single letter in the bible.
