Well, mam, to many of us its not all those things. See, we've come to know the Spirit who inspired the Bible. There is an Old Covenant and a New Covenant. The Old one is no longer in effect, the new one is a Covenant of Grace. Its not crap, its life giving. If your heart wasn't so hard you might be able to hear God. But, really, its your loss. Having such a high opinion of yourself is not going to take you very far.

HELLO!!! God did not write the Bible. God supposedly made man in his image, right? Well I think the sexist, primitive Middle Eastern men who wrote it created God in their image.

As a Christian, no, I do not find the Bible as those things. If you don't believe it, why even think on it. Are you allowing God to take up that much room in your mind?

Well it was written by primitive men... What can you expect? What I don't understand is why people in the 21st century still think its "the word of god". Its the word of MAN. LONG LONG AGO. It doesn't apply to today.

You think "love your neighbor as yourself" is gross, backward, and disgusting?
You think "treat others as you want others to treat you" is gross, backward, and disgusting?
You think "if you forgive others, God will forgive you" is gross, backward, and disgusting?
If these are your ideas of gross, backward, and disgusting ... what are your ideas of clean, decent, and uplifting?

YOUR EYES MAY BE CLOSED
Parables enhance the understanding of those who earnestly seek God's will, but remain a mystery to those whose minds have been darkened by the deceitfulness of sin. God does not arbitrarily conceal the truth from anyone. It is concealed only from those who have shut their eyes and ears, spiritually speaking. However, if at any time they turn to God in repentance and seek His will, He will remove the blinders and lead them to greater understanding. When this happens, the parables of Jesus will benefit them enormously.
When His disciples asked Him why He spoke in parables, Jesus replied, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says:
"'You shall indeed hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive. For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn to me to heal them.' But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. Truly I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it" (Matthew 13:1017, Revised Standard Version).
Knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of God "has not been given" to certain people because their "heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and their eyes they have closed."
The parables of Jesus are not the cause of spiritual blindness. They conceal truth in the sense that they are indiscernible to those who have closed their own eyes. Jesus knew that divine secrets presented in the form of metaphors would hardly be understood by those insensible to spiritual things.
