This is probably the best argument for atheism I've ever heard.
Atheists are the strongest believers of all, because they are 100% sure that they know exactly what any other person means when using the word "God" and that it's the same idea that they have themselves discarded.
Perhaps it's wise not to listen.
The bible is a collection of multiple books, some are stories and myths, some are historical, some are divine law / ways to live. The vast majority of faith traditions today that root the bible as divine revelation do not see the old testament's law as binding on modern man, but rather either instruction for a more "devolved" people, part of an invalidated covenant, or part of an older "aeon" or age of man.
Your response is the usual "oh those bits are just old and silly".
To say that my comment is "dishonest at best" relies on cherry-picking the parts that are palatable in modern society, as you've pointed out.
