The Bible is not the word of an omnipotent god because an amnipotent god would find slavery immoral and an abomination. So instead the Bible is just the words of men who claimed (and might even have believeed) that they were inspired by an omnipotent god.
They were inspired by what they think as a human could be God projecting their own vision into God's one.
The main problem in religions ( IMHO ) is that we decided unilaterally ( sic ... ) that we were created as God's image and then could decide the fate of any species on Earth and in the Universe.
It is a big mistake. A giant one and Covid proved us that we are not essential to this planet ... Obviously.
Star Trek is very very representative of this. There is not a single civilization that learn anything to us and we are evangelizing the universe with our wisdom without any questioning about ourselves.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
