If we accept that the Bible was written by a bunch of people who were trying to lay down some rules about how to live, isn't it probably that the NT was written in response to the same outcry we see here on Y!A regarding the moral terpitude in the OT? I personally don't believe the OT or the NT, but I think most of the really immoral stuff - slaughter of the innocents, flood, Lot & his daughters, etc. - is in the OT. The really unbelieveable (or "miraculous," if you believe in the Bible) stuff is in the NT. Both of these are major flaws to me. If I decided to accept a Holy Book of some sort, it would have to be both moral and rooted in the physical world. I'm not saying there can't be a - as atheists put it - "sky pixie," but if sucha pixie is there, he should only play as big a role in the book as is evidenced in every day life, which is to say, as something many of us suspect but none can quantify.
