Have you ever read the Bible in its entirety? It’s pretty far fetched to believe that a volume containing 66 books, written over ~2000 years, by ~40 “authors”, with a 400 year period of silence between the Old and New Testaments has thousands of prophecies in the Old Testament that were fulfilled EXACTLY in the New Testament, and the New Testament referring back to the Old Testament thousands of times is not Divinely Inspired by God Himself.
The Bible is accurate and God Breathed.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
New International Version
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Interestingly, you mentioned the Bible being a collection of history and moral lessons. So have you heeded those lessons? If not, why not? If such body of work is deemed to of little value then what is the relative value of your opinion?
I believe the scriptures are just stories that we are suppose to get the moral value from.
Lessons in history they are.
I do not believe God sat in a room with select people and said
"Ok guys... now write this down EXACTLY as I tell you... it's my word"

Thank you for your opinion.

I went to a Christian high school. We had to take 100 question exams on the bible.
For me personally. I like to keep my moral values simple.
The 10 commandments is all I need. Everything is just conversational material.
I am the opinion that good ideas are simple to teach and understand. The 10 commandments is good enough for me.
I would be able to break down all those lessons to fall under 1 or many of the commandments.
