Do you think you can prove no bad parts were added to The Bible to corrupt it and mislead people and that The Bible wouldn't be perfect if those bad parts were taken out ?
The bible wasn't written in a day, and when you look at the stories you can see the traces of mentality from those varied times. To an outsider god's acts seem bad, but think from the perspective of a small tribe, if they have a supernatural entity aiding them and killing their enemies, then for them that entity is good. If in their society females are treated like shit, then the "good" and moral god from their perspective would have to conform to that mentality as well...
As for moses and jesus, I don't really care what one fictional character says about another..
