I believe the OT is a succession of Allegories, metaphorical stories that are meant as life lessons, basically do not fuck with God. The NT, is supposed to be an account of Jesus' life and teachings, although because of the errors, disagreements and omissions it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as far as historical documentation is concerned.

If we could agree that the Bible is largely symbolic, I think there would be less argument in general. It's when we try to tell people that it is the word-for-word undisputed word of God where we run into problems. Honestly, I don't think it's fair to God. The Bible makes him bad, oafish and rednecky.
