I know the Bible is accurate for many reasons. I have studied the arguments for and against the accuracy of the Bible and have reached the conclusion that it is accurate and infallible.
Perhaps you could elaborate on what, exactly, led to your conclusion rather than offering a vague "many reasons"?
My interpretation of the Bible may not be as accurate as I would like for it to be, but I'm working on it (with God's help and guidance).
And yet you speak as though you do have absolute knowledge.
If I'm wrong, there's not much to worry about. If I'm right, there's even less to worry about and a lot to look forward to.
Use of Pascal's Wager -- a false dichotomy fallacy -- only demonstrates a lack of critical thinking ability. What if the god who exists doesn't mind non-believers as much as he does followers of false gods, and you're the one with a false god?

Yes, I could, but I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so. You have already made up your mind, and as long as you can live with it, I can as well.
I have never claimed to have absolute knowledge, but I know Someone who does. I would never claim that I had a totally accurate interpretation of anything, much less the Bible. Apparently, you feel that you do. As I said before, as long as you can live with that, I can too.
As far as my use of Pascal's wager, it expresses my feelings on the subject accurately, so I'm not particularly concerned about your impression of my critical thinking ability. I'm not especially impressed with the thinking ability of anyone who uses science to disprove God.
