hmmm... Donny, after reading your interview with Luke just now I think I understand why you're trying to give Christians some food for thought.
You have seen your parents' marriage collapse because of the rules of their religion and you experienced the same with your wife. I can understand how this would make a man doubt the very religion which caused this but you must understand that there is a big difference between religion and belief.
Organized religion tends to make things worse because there are almost always people involved who have a different agenda, be it financial gains, a thirst for power or even sexual gratification. This is why I am opposed to such organized religion... I believe, and the Bible confirms this, that my relationship with God is something personal... one on one. I do not need a church or a priest to contact Him, I do not have to go to church every sunday just because they say so.
I agree with you that the Bible has errors and that not everything should be taken literally. I feel though that you're only seeking something that fits into YOUR life and that doesn't change the way you're living now.
If I'm really far off please accept my apologies because it is not my intention to hurt anyone but reading your interview and following posts you have made I do believe I'm on the right track.
