I have a female friend who lives her life according the the bible. She's single in her early 40s, basically because her life rules aren't compatible with modern dating. She's wasting her life, would have loved kids, but unlikely now. I love quoting her the worse bits.. e.g. most of Corinthians - man is the boss, Ephesians 5:22-23, covers the price to buy a woman after you raped her, Timothy 2:13-15 shut up when you are told to.

I'm fine with the idea of intelligent design, but letting a book written hundreds of years ago ruin your life seems bonkers.

No, No, No. That's three things you've stated that strictly speaking are a terminological inexactitude ! In other words plainly wrong.
