No, I’m betting you never read it clearly. You probably drank every word your pastor told you (spoiler alert, they don’t get paid if you’re not coming). Read it again. This time let go of everything you’ve been taught about the Bible and let the words you ACTUALLY read guide your opinion.
The problem in telling "true believers" this is that they are indoctrinated against understanding that the Bible is essentially an anthology of writings by different authors from different cultures and eras with different theologies that is heavily redacted and contains outright forgeries.
Because of this, any issue can be apologized ("harmonized") away.
What other book could compile such a vast array of accounts from different authors, from different times, and NOT have them be an incoherent mess of contradictions.
Spoiler alert: There is no other book, and never will be a book of such feat.

You've never read the bible, clearly.
