it's funny how it's so different from
what they taught in R.E lessons. i read this bit about how they sodomised babies then cracked their heads open on rocks.

Interesting prose fact:
The reason the bible repeats itself so much is that hardly anyone could read during it's ascendancy. Therefore it had to be repetetive when it was read out in public, so it would stick in peoples minds.

not so good if you're looking for some kind
of guidance/elightenment/anything to cheer you up, and you come across things like "man shall not stick cock up another man" or "a woman is a man's best friend". or something.

Depends what version you read.
Your mistake there though is looking for guidance in it. I'd no more look for guidance there then I would in Harry Potter. It's only a book, it's you who makes your life what it is.
