Why such a huge universe, to be so concerned with the sexuality of an individual on a nearly invisible planet?
Why did he/she/it create us?

Also why is it people seem to only pick and chose parts of the bible to justify their beliefs and actions and totally ignore the 10 commadments....

What is eternity and what is fire and brimstone? The spirit knows not these things.
The spirit knows the spirit. "From which you came you shall return"

What part of the bible was 'meant' to be taken literally?
I've heard many, many people say, Genesis isn't meant to be taken literally, but that's kind of a waste IMHO, that you write this big book, then eh', forget that first part.
What gives the Bible more credence than say a Quran, or Book of Jainism, or the books of Hinduism (scriptures eh whatever).
The book doesn't contain all the answers. ALL the answers are in you, the book helps to pull SOME of them out.
I don't know these people. Do you have any common examples of this?

With all due respect my friend...you ARE talking to a "Christian". If you don't feel the "bible" is credible then don't seek answers from a "Christian". IMHO, atheists have no place asking a "christian" about whatever proof you want without first being willing to hear about excerpts from the holy bible. Sad truth for you possibly. It's the same thing as a 9-11 "truth-seeker" looking to the NIST for answers.
