The score doesn't look so bad to me:

Every detail is literally true. -- 38%
Some details may be inaccurate or exaggerated, but the fundamentals are true. -- 34%
The Bible is fundamentally fiction, incorporating some historical facts. -- 24%
None of the above -- 4%.

I am in the 2nd group myself, as a non-fundamentalist. When you consider the non-Christians, and the CINO's in the country, the 72% for at least fundamentally true is pretty good, it seems to me.

None of the answers suit me. I view it as a spiritual philosophy mixed with history.

Aren't they going to have to rewrite portions of the OT based on the findings of the Dead Sea Scrolls? My opinion: The OT leaves much to be desired while the Gospels have some real Godstuff in there if everyone would just live it.

No, why should they? According to reports I'VE heard, they track quite perfectly.

However, there are some things from the caves that had not been considered as 'Scripture' before and will not be now.

Second category here... But the Bible, while like our Republic, may be not perfect is the best thing we have, so let's stick with it.

Sorry, Bobby, I'm not gonna do it. There are a few reasons why:
The Bible is true or it is false. An opinion is not going to affect that either way.
If it is true, it will have an effect on a person; their opinion does not affect its efficacy.

I am under orders to avoid arguments such as this. My opinion isn't going to sway anyone whose mind is made up.

Having said that, the Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God. Merry Christmas.

So, why should we expect anything else?
Matthew 7:14
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

And.......

Matthew 24
10. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
11. and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
12. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,
13. but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
