I take a religion class in school and we're forced to read the bible. So far i've read Genesis, Exodus, and some other parts of Leviticus, Ephesians

It was surprising to me how much God loves killing people.
He tells the Israelites to go to war and murder everyone in the opposing nations.
Then he also kills some of the Israelites when they complain about him in the desert
Then in one passage God kills a baby as a punishment for his parents adultery (David and Bathsheba)
He also told Abraham to kill his son as a test to see how faithful he is, and he also tried to kill Moses.
Then there's all the ridiculous laws that people can be put to death for.

In our last class we read Ephesians where it says wives should submit themselves to their husbands, and that slaves should obey their masters.

I wonder what heinous things we'll learn about next.

I honestly don't know how people can support the bible after reading all these things
