Richard Dawkins. The God delusion (№ 54716)

In the study of Hartung "the Bible is a body of law to develop a group morality with ready instructions for genocide, enslavement of neighboring groups and world hegemony. But the Bible is not evil only because of putting problems or even just because of the glorification of murder, cruelty and violence. Many of the ancient texts are guilty of the same - the Iliad, the Icelandic sagas, the myths of ancient Syria, inscriptions of the ancient Maya and other. However, we are not trying to sell the "Iliad" as a Canon of morality. This is the problem. The Bible buy and sell as a guide by which people should live."
