The bible is actually not bad. It’s mainly an issue when people ~2000+ years later are denied freedoms, rights and their lives because two lines from a specific translation of the book (OFTEN taken out of context, mind you) say so
The Bible is supposed to be poetry that creates implied guidelines, but idiots decided to take it completely literally

true but its comforting to know that jesus himself didnt say a lot of things which are now upheld in christianity. the apostles are mostly responsible for what people dont like about christianity today

If we read the bible like every other archaic text originating from either before or around that time period, it’s just reflecting values through stories LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. Nuts that people read it very literally.

The stuff about Jesus saving a prostitute from being stoned isn’t bad I think

And the parts about love and forgiveness and hospitality and serving others and turning the other cheek. That’s not bad. It’s bad if the good things are not practiced by the people who claim to read it

Says someone who probably hasn't read the Bible (popular/ notable excerpts don't count).
