Right, what people do need to realise is that there has been very productive biblical scholarship. To talk about Michael as an example is really a strawman argument and hardly worthy of remark. We must treat the bible with the respect it deserves, both as an historical document of the nation of israel, and as a work of theology. However, to treat it with that respect we have to view it within the context that it was written and with the same critical practices that we use to evaluate any piece of classical literature.
