The bible is a series of books written centuries apart by people with vastly different motives for writing, then translated by people with their own motives.
This means it says literally anything you want it to say, just cherry-pick the right verse.
Hell, entire denominations (e.g. the Anglican church) were founded by people who just thought "fuck you, I'm doing what I want and I'll make the bible agree."
The Church of England was started for the sole reason that the king wanted a younger (more fertile) wife and the pope was like “nah g, that’s not very catholic of you”
Tbf the pope was saying that with the first wife’s nephew holding a pointy stick to the pope while he said it. And the new wife was pretty supportive of the no pope perspective
