The Bible

It probably contains many errors. However, we are controlled by instinct first, with god apparently nudging us in a direction. Why are no fundies claiming that the bible's errors are caused by the writers of said book misinterpreting or mistranslating the messages from god/whoever. Because the bible more or less explicitly states "you can do as you want, but if you hurt my followers or be a complete shithead i will give you eternal suffering".

On a similar note, the old testament is when god was an angsty teenager, all doomy and such. New testament is the mature, adult god, much more benevolent. Maybe that's the "In his image" part
