It is only insanity if you make the mistake of reading everything literally and oversimplifying. Both fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist atheists make this same mistakes.

Not sure if I agree. Once you admit that the Bible is man-made, then you're no longer a Christian. Then it's "game over" for divine revelation. You can still find spiritual, moral, or intellectual value in the Bible, I agree—but you can't call this Christianity anymore. At least that's my take (as a deist).
Your take is incorrect. Of course the Bible is “man-made.” That doesn’t mean it wasn’t divinely inspired.
You keep thinking that fundamentalist, literalist, childish Christianity defines the whole religion. It doesn’t.
Reminder: I am not an “orthodox Christian,” I am a “mystic Christian.” These are different traditions and your raging against the former does not refute the latter.
