You seem to be conflating “interesting” with “morally correct”.
That’s true. I react because the only thing most people know about this book is that a significant number of people in the world look at it as some kind of blueprint for good living, even when they haven’t read it or even portions of it. Look at the OP for crying out loud.
There are people in the world who find Hitler “interesting” - and such people are not all the same, but everyone generally understands this and knows why. Not so much with the Bible.
Also it really is actively boring. The stories are not well written or in any way engaging to a modern sensibility, because they are catechisms as much as they are stories. I immediately suspect people who laud the writing of apologia not intellectualism.
