So fucking clueless
Well you’re gonna learn in the coming years just how relevant it is.
Stupid fairy tale is about as relevant as the Greek myths.

The problem is that the Bible was written by multiple authors over the course of hundreds of years. (Oldest bits are like 1000ish BCE, but those are scraps of poetry that were integrated in later, probably dating back to when Yahweh was a married storm god - early Jews were henotheistic)
It’s not a consistent voice, not all views in each book (or even within the same book) are consistent. The big misinterpretation is that it is ultimately not a unified text - it’s a collection of history, poetry, and philosophy written by people who often had political axes to grind (so much of OT is about Israel versus Judah, maintaining a unified identity during the Babylonian occupation, etc)
The way it has been interacted with and interpreted is critical to understanding most of human history.
Saying “lol Bible dumb” and stopping there is lazy 14 year old on r/atheism thinking that will cripple your understanding of about 2000 years of human history.

Cry harder about someone dismissing your shitty fairy tale used to oppress society. Fuck religion and what it has done to people

I’m not a Christian.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is fiction too, but it’s useful in understanding Mesopotamian society.

Cool bud, I don’t want nor care to understand them. This isn’t about ancient cultures. This is about modern day and how people utilize their mythology to oppress minorities and women. They, and their stupid collection of fairy tales, need to fuck off and shove their shitty excuses for their shitty behavior up their fucking ass.
