It's really just terrible and most of the things that happen in it are horrible and just examples of how people are generally fuckups and how God is generally so lovely at communicating what exactly he wants with all these lovely cryptographic messages that the prophets in the New Testament can't even come to some sort of common ground as to what that poo poo means.

It's mostly plagiarized mythology and very skewed ancient history and the book of prophets and revelations were written by untreated schizophrenics.
It's not the word of god, its the words of a bunch of deranged assholes that thought god talked to them.
