*Wrote this 10 minutes ago. Something just hit me and I had to write it out
I never gave a nod to God
Be he Jehovah, Yahweh, or Allah
Give due to the moon, stars and the sun
Be one with myself
So if I ever choose wrong I still came correct
No matter the path I walk I’ll always give respect,
To a man who chose different, for him he chose best,
I guess
But if you never been exposed who knows what you’ll think say or do
When a man calls you an ignorant fool, hands you a book and says for heaven here’s what you do
Although he hasn’t read it either
He’s just paraphrasing the preacher
Now either that makes sense or that’s bullshit to you
But I know cats that go to church every Sunday
And somehow I know more of the Bible than they
And it ain’t just regional
We talking about people of all kinds with different paradigms
Short and bald, hairy and tall,
non liberals and gays, the working man and the “paid”
Wait, I shouldn’t be facetious while talking about Jesus
Though the Bible never said he was perfect
Look it up yourself if you think it’s worth it
To prove me wrong…
Go ahead, I’ll wait

Flawed in what respect? The composition of a book being every liturgical genre ever manifested in the human mind, that fact that it's been a bestseller since Gutenberg, or the one about undermining a religion simply because the norm decrees?
Teaching in what respect? Who is teaching? If your saying what I think you're saying, you are undermining a teaching because someone taught it wrong. Argumentum ad Logicum I can assure you those who reference the bible correctly know that it is neither a book of pure scientific/historical reliability. It is simply a work of literature that tells a story. Likewise in our society books change people. Certain books are written to change people's lives. Some are changed others are not.
I do not understand a book that promises much and asks for very little is willed to be the target of the criticism and ridicule of that of a criminal. As though the book itself is the cause of inhuman behavior. And no, a person's interpretation does not place the blame on the book. That's as if saying "the grass should be green" should be changed to the color of my green because that's how I understood the sentence to come across.
