The Bible does has some useful stuff but similiary, some of it's teachings are slavery, racism, religious intollerance, misogynism, etc. etc. Those very things were

Also, I've read this before, feel the defense should get a shot. Crimes have been committed, but if the prosecution wishes to lay those charges, the defense would like the jury to keep in mind every dawn and sunset, the love in your wife/husband's eyes, Chasey Lain, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Barrier reef, shall I go on?

Because various humans have committed injustices, God's innocent. I'll be sure to tell the jury that next time I kill someone.
