My sister-in-law's step dad and grandfather are both preachers with doctorates in theology. I can talk religion with them all day, and we all can recognize the issues with modern Christians. The people who actually understand the Bible are generally great people in my experience.

They aren't the issue. It's the people who use it as a tool/weapon who are the issue. They don't care what it says, nor do they even know what it says usually. They might know a handful of passages that can be mangled to fit their hateful ideology, but it doesn't really matter as long as they fell righteous.

Have you asked them about the bibles internal inconsistencies?

Start with something uncontroversial like; what's the name of Joseph's father?
