This is the problem. Yes, the later books of the bible are chock full of excellent examples of how to be good people. However as long as people are convinced that the entire thing is the word of a magical being, the rest of it will be relevant to those people, and the rest of it includes very specific predictions about what is going to happen to the world and how we should all prepare for it. And that is guiding how people are making decisions about world politics, decisions about when to go to war and start killing people. Utterly unacceptable in my opinion.
