Approach the Bible with Reason
If you have deconstructed your faith because it seemed irrational, God is not mad at you. If you have refused to enter the faith because you could not make logical sense of it, God is not angry about it. And if you are questioning the rationality of your faith, God is not scared of your doubts. All God wants is for you to seek the truth with an open mind and heart, willing to accept whatever you may find.
He will take care of the rest.
