The Bible
It's ghost written by people who have heard voices, it's full of murder incest and contradictions in story lines, different accounts of the same stories.
It's a part fiction and part historic collection of short stories and memoirs.
Has some useful tips on living. But to much gore and blood.

You forgot genocide and mass slaughter, sexism, child sacrifice, religious persecution and promotion of racism and xenophobia.
Reminds me of another forum where the question was about what you think the best invention ever was. Ignoring the obvious things like fire and wheel or iron smelting, I suggested the printing press. It helped spread ideas and influence learning and took literacy away from the elite and clerics and put it into the masses. Possiblyimo the biggest contributor to mass civilization. Another poster retorted
"yes but think of the first thing it was used for" [printing the bible] and I had to conceed the point lol
