Why Was the Hebrew Bible Written in a Way That Allows Critical Mistakes That Ruin the Lives of Billions?
Question
Hello,
As is known to those who know, because of the Hebrew Bible, wars broke out and so many things happened that caused damage of all kinds to billions cumulatively, right up to this very second.
In light of this, why wasn’t the Hebrew Bible written in a more explicit / clear way / with a few more chapters that would make it crystal clear what is wrong to do because of it, and so on?
Answer
It would be interesting to know who this “one who knows everything” is, to whom all this is known. That exclusive group apparently includes only you.
In any case, if you want to ask something and not just make baseless declarations, please spell out your question.

All the billions of believers in Islam whose lives are in the trash because of religion (which somehow rolled out of the Hebrew Bible), all the billions of Christians whose religion has influenced and continues to influence their lives, enormous wars in the name of religion, religious people whose entire lives are enslaved to utter vanity.
There are endless examples.
