I tend to agree with this question. Its infallible (the originals) or its not. And every church body that strays from this seems to get further and further from what the Bible actually says and morphs into a social justice gathering.
However a different line of thinking would say that we believe because the events took place...not because they were written down perfectly.That's a little too abstract for me. But possible.
To me that would be more relevant in comparing not having a bible to having one. Oral tradition vs God's Word.

phenomenon of reading-> reader-> text-> author-> event
liberal christians have progressively moved from the right to the left. now, all they have is the phenomenon of reading. the events themselves are irrelevant. the text is only relevant in what it does to the reader. the reader is even irrelevant to the degree that presuppositions can cloud the reading experience. what does the text do to you? that is where the meaning lies for liberals/progressives. never mind this creates substantial semiotic problems, authoritative problems (both text and author), hermeneutic problems, exegetical problems (the events and the original audience). let's just ignore those problems because what's more important is that everyone feel welcome and not judged.
