It goes to show that if/when one reads the Bible, a lot of care needs to be taken. I have read sections myself and I'd never recommned it to children or adolescents. Some I understand as metaphors (which is fine). Other parts describe norms for the time, like slavery and physical violence, etc. But this is a book written by ordinary men. Some parts appear to be inspired (like the sermon on the mount), but a lot of it is utter crap. I have a feeling that if Jesus himself wrote a book it would read very differently.
Read widely would be my advice. Take nothing as truth.
