Read the books of Moses and the Deuteronomistic history books, they're barbaric. Barbaric to any normal person, and even more barbaric by Christian standards. Like slaughtering everyone in Canaan even animals so they could steal the land, blood sacrifices (condemned in Jeremiah 7, wisdom books, and the New Testament), executions by burning, death penalty for picking up sticks on Saturday (Jesus and all his disciples at the time they were gathering grain on Saturday should have been stoned to death according to this law), killing someone for touching the ark (because he was trying to save it), circumcision, slavery, eye for an eye, Moses and all but 2 people in the exodus not being allowed in the promised land because God was still holding a grudge against them for some extremely petty incidents long ago and made them wander in the desert for 40 years, gentiles being considered lower than beasts, God punishing people for someone else's mistakes like a Discord employee...for its time it was quite gentle but still not to par.

We cannot simply ignore that there is an abundance of problems with the way we handle the book. Or I should say books, because it is actually dozens of separate books, most of which are themselves made up of many older fragments. And they don't all agree. This book wasn't even given to us or authorized by any divine source, so the way we basically worship it is dangerous. And it's even worse when every letter must be taken as entirely literal, when that's not how literature worked in the time these books were written. We're even worse than the Pharisees and Sadduccees in this regard, and this is one reason they got to be so awful. They were simply following the law as it was written.
