Then try talking to actual grownups instead of babies on the Internet. The passages aren't anywhere as awful as you think, and only people with surface level understanding think otherwise
I've debated grown ups for 50 years.
If you don't think those passages are worthy of challenge then you're the one whose intellect needs attention.
Not once, ever, have I received a justification for those abominable verses worthy of consideration.
I dunno dude the connection that thinking alone doesn't affect reality was a pretty key insight into turning science into the tour de force it is today
You seem to be committing the fallacy of decomposition. The claim is that the Bible is inspired. You're asking if isolated passages are inspired. It's as if I claimed that an engine is heavy, and you asked whether a spark plug is heavy.
Invoking the ‘fallacy of decomposition’ is frequently misused as a rhetorical dodge to avoid addressing legitimate, specific questions about problematic “plugs” that MAKE the engines weight. This tactic defends the whole at all costs—even when evidence in the parts clearly undermines it ‘weight’.
The claim that something is “frequently misused” is a rhetorical ploy. It doesn’t follow from “x is often true” that “x is true in case y.” I’m unaware of a case in which an attribute predicated of a composite applies to an individual component, except incidentally or in a forced contrivance.

Try me.
You've evaded the question.
Are those passages inspired or not. Simple question.
Yes or no.
Much easier, it just required a yes or a no 🤷
