Out of curiosity though, do you believe that the Bible is the unassailable word of God? And if so, do you live by it 100%? And if not, why not? How do you choose which parts to ignore?
If you're defining the word "unassailable" as "unable to alter, destroy, or challenge", then my opinion would waver, depending on how you define and use those exact terms. I recognize that over the centuries, the various texts of Scripture have been somewhat altered in various ways, but I also believe the core message has been reliably preserved. Some people have either damaged or even destroyed certain fragments, mostly because they didn't like the implications of what was written. As for being challenged, people do that all the time, and they'll continue to do so until Jesus returns - its part of having free will. But just because something or someone is being challenged, that doesn't suddenly make them wrong right away.
You asked me if I live by the Bible 100%, and my brutally honest answer is "no". But this might be a surprise to you: no Christian does, not even the most devout or carefully practicing believers. We're saved, but we're still fallible, and we still sin or make mistakes on occasion. That's not an excuse, just part of being human. I know that over the course of my life, I've told lies, stolen things (even small ones), used God's name in vain, treated certain things and people as being more important than Him, lusted, committed spiritual murder, adultered, disrespected my elders, and failed to honor holy days. That covers all of the Ten Commandments - thankfully, God does not require believers to be infallible, just honest, humble, and repentant. I don't purposely choose to ignore any part of Scripture, but there's still times I fail anyway. What matters is that when these things do happen, we acknowledge them, confess our sin, and repent instead of trying to rationalize them.
Non-Christians often accuse God of being egotistical, hateful, contradictory, and otherwise unreasonable, among many other less-tasteful descriptions. But to be honest, I think many of these protests are done from them not wanting to submit to His authority. There's a popular saying in the church which goes, "some people want to be their own God", and I think that's sadly the case. I posted a video of Frank Turek on a previous page, and one question he has often asked people is, "If Christianity were true, would you become a Christian?" He's said that many have often replied with "No"...to which his response is, "Then for you, its not a head problem. Its about your heart. You don't want there to be a God because if there is, then you are accountable to Him."
