His distain is definitely not for the bible but for those who misuse it. The sola-fractional-scriputra crowd. (SFS®)
No, I'm pretty sure that disdain is leveled at the Bible itself. He dismisses most of it as "Pauline" nonsense and Old Testament inconsequentials.
"Paul does not subscribe to the Nicene Trinitarian view of Christianity. Neither do the Synoptic Gospels, by the way. It is in John that we find some evidence of the Triune God, with the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit co equal, co existing, and co eternal members of One God. Paul definitely is not Trinitarian." -- Posted by MarkBsnr on April 24, 2010.
Those who derive theology from what they observe growing in their navels or pick from between their teeth are definitely not following Christian beliefs.
