All I am saying is that dismissing the bible based on a superficial reading of the 66 canonical texts doesn't do justice to their richness and complexity. It also seems anti-intellectual.

Sure it does it justice.  There is nothing intellectual or unique about the bible as a book.  It's only special to those who decide its the word of god first.
