Comment on Reading the Bible purely as fiction is quite entertaining

Old testament is quite rough. Lots of killing and raping going on.
God tells the chosen people to kill this and this tribe. Take virgins as wives, kill all males. I never understood killing of livestock though.

It’s bettwr of you read it as “some guy tells the nation that God told them to beat each other to death over petty shit and not only did they agree to it, they extolled it as righteous and holy”
