They divide the hearts of men, and tell them of mutually exclusive ultimate "truths", turning them against each other and ultimately, themselves. Can you know about world history and deny this?

No, absolutely I have not missed this. But I do have an answer although it is a long one and a re-run. So stop reading right here if you've already read my answer. I believe no matter how the Bible is analyzed, it is flawed. Strictly discussing only the New Testament, translators had complete discretion over content. If a story wasn’t complete, multiple stories were woven together to form one book. Pieces were moved around and put together like a puzzle. When a turn of a phrase seemed to disagree with the King’s Church, it was removed in its entirety.
We now know that multiple scrolls of material, intended to be included as part of the Bible, were carefully hidden instead. This was necessary to avoid destruction of both the authors, and the information.
Scripted Codices, have slowly been discovered. They’ve been carbon dated and authenticated by experts to prove they were written at the same time the Bible was written. Numerous experts believe these writings were intended to be part of the original Bible. However, it is also true to say that these compositions are still the cause of great debate.
The New Testament was written two centuries after The Christ was crucified. Before the Bible was let loose to commoners, these powerful people had just simply raped it.
When one controls the religion of a people, they then control those people. This is why it was so important to make sure the Bible only told the stories approved of by the King and his Church. It also explains the hiding of certain texts. If anything written even smacks of freedom for the common man, it must be destroyed. For if it was found that the King was not god, the King could loose his ability to control his kingdom. As the translators were loyal to the King, the Bible was edited very carefully indeed.
Speaking only of the New Testament, the Bible remains one of the very best set of life instructions known to man. There is only one, most important law. It is: To love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might, and to love thy neighbor as you love yourself. If this Law is followed to the letter, it isn’t possible to break even one of the old Ten Commandments.
When Jesus was born, all prophecies from the Old Testament were fulfilled. The Old Testament passed away with the first coming of the Christ. The Ten Commandments were no longer relevant. This Commandment was the only one needed in order to not sin, and live as God wants man to live.
Blessed Be

Religions are usually based on a subjective interpretation of the world, on Revelation.
The strength of conviction in this Revelation and the ability to make others believe it are the measure of how successful the Religion will be.
These Revelations are usually in answer to existing conditions that need improvement.

Religion is taking the breath of an Angel's laughter and turning it into a prison of glass and stone. Once you need dogma to prop something up it has lost it's divine inspiration, God never stopped talking to us, we just stop for a while and try to assimilate.

No I can't deny it. But if you really look at the problem, you will find that "man" brings on the action of death and suffering, not the words that are written in the various religions.
Man and his egotistical interpretations.

The love you speak of is God's love for you. Doesn't mean you care about anyone else.
