It’s a super old book that guided a large portion of humanity through pre-enlightenment time. The historical references are pretty factual based on other sources and archaeological finds. The Bible is an interesting artifact.

You use "guided". It still guides the largest religion and another important one. Even though it does give insight to its historical context, it is much more than an artifact. Criticism of its morals are still relavant.

I had to be that troll: (But the tech seems good, good work!) search: abortion Results Leviticus 18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Read Leviticus 18 Numbers 12:12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. Read Numbers 12 …

The book is as disgusting as Mein Kampf. Why does any decent person think they'll find morality within it?

It also is the basis of modern, Western literary culture and with it its philosophical tradition.
