Yeah it is people and their sometimes misguided interpretation of things that cause the problems.
But daws, the Bible, esp. the new testament is about love.
The second new commandment is to 'love your neighbour as yourself'. This is sometimes a difficult one.
It is easier to hate than to love.
the great plagues are not about love, and the bible has to incldue new and old testement... im christian, but just making a point, there is violence everywhere
The old testament is great, is still relevant and makes good reading IMO.
But the new testament is 'the new covernant between God and man'. It is about love and forgiveness. It has a new authority which supersedes the old.
