The Bible is not fit for worship, consider that the story of Isaac has no real compassion, it is just YHWH getting what he wants, but a good father would not behave that way. Ritual child sacrifice is Satanic.
It turns out that your opinions about the history of the Bible are subject to criticism:
The consensus around the documentary hypothesis has partly collapsed in the last decades of the 20th century.[5] The groundwork was laid with the investigation of the origins of the written sources in oral compositions, implying that the creators of J and E were collectors and editors and not authors and historians.[31] Rolf Rendtorff (19252014), building on this insight, argued that the basis of the Pentateuch lay in short, independent narratives, gradually formed into larger units and brought together in two editorial phases, the first Deuteronomic, the second Priestly.[32] This led to the current position which sees only two major sources in the Pentateuch, the Deuteronomist (confined to the Book of Deuteronomy) and the Priestly (confined to the books Genesis-Exodus-Leviticus-Numbers).[33]
The majority of scholars today continue to recognise Deuteronomy as a source, with its origin in the law-code produced at the court of Josiah as described by De Wette, subsequently given a frame during the exile (the speeches and descriptions at the front and back of the code) to identify it as the words of Moses.[34] Most scholars also agree that some form of Priestly source existed, although its extent, especially its end-point, is uncertain.[35] The remainder is called collectively non-Priestly, a grouping which includes both pre-Priestly and post-Priestly material.[33] The final Torah is increasingly seen as a product of the Persian period (539333 BCE, probably 450350 BCE), although some would place it somewhat later, in the Hellenistic (333164 BCE) or even Hasmonean (14037 BCE) periods[36]
So consider the facts, perhaps you have been blinded from the truth because of your faith in that book.
I do not believe this book. I believe in the message of this book, not literally everything as a manual. Jews have abandoned God many times. I believe Jesus words were true. And we should not abandon God again... He does not deserve to be abandoned. In order to understand NT you have to read OT. Thats why I still think its Holy book. Even if its sometimes gruesome and mixed up.
If I would believe in a book I would call God being a book... You just use a sophistry here. Words are meaningful as long as they have meaning in sentences and stories. You can nitpick some word or sentence and call its meaningless.... Well... they could be. But with the whole story they have a huge meaning.
