Anymouse, the Bible is neither an instuctional manual or a historical account. It is primarily a psychological document for the purpose of bypassing our ordinary dual mind in order to arouse the contemplative mind. It contains meanings within meanings. That is why Chazal said its value is in reading you, allowing the mind to open. If a person can contemplate beyond the superficial, the Bible has great value. its value is really for those capable of thinking for themselves in the context of awareness of the human condition within them. When read superficially, I would agree that it can also cause harm.
