If you freely admit the Bible is full of falsehoods and corruptions,
believing the Bible may not be 100% perfect is not the same as believing it is full of falsehoods and corruption.
That stuff was addressed at Ender, he mentioned something about the grubby hands of man. Mormons believe that the Bible has lost many "plain and precious truths" via the translation process, and many believe that it has been corrupted in other ways, explaining the discrepancies between the Bible and the Books of Mormon.

how do you know the resurrection of Christ isn't one of these uninspired, corrupt pieces?
I take upon faith that it is not.
I believe Christ is the son of God, that he died to save us from our sins, and that 3 days after he died, he rose from the grave. I do not think that believing this means I have to believe that children that curse their parents, must be put to death. Not sure was else to say. If you want to think I am silly/crazy or whatever. fine.
That is good enough for me.
No, I don't think you are silly/crazy/whatever.
Well... maybe a little whatever. ;) But not silly or crazy.
