My depths of understanding do not have to be strong to know that I can safely ignore the bible.
It's a book that says that the creator of the world killed 70,000 people because a King messed up with a census. To call that moral is, in my book, reprehensible. It's a book that makes outrageous claims that have no backing aside from the book itself. I see no reason to take it seriously enough to give it any more study than I've already given it. One can easily surmise from a single reading that the views of the book reflect the people who wrote it, and not some 'almighty divine creator'
