I agree with your comments about Biblical translation and interpretation. If you read different modern translations there are slight differences in some of it but overall it does tell the same basic story.

As a matter of fact one of the "articles of faith" of the church I belong to states "we believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly..............." admitting that there can be, and obviously are, mistakes and discrepancies.

The difference between how I view that and how you view that seems to lie in the area of personal belief. If you don't have a personal faith then I doubt very much if it matters to you what the Bible says. For someone who does have that personal faith then the human limitations are overcome by that.
