The bible has literally pages of god commanding to kill people, what do you mean to look at its entirety? If it's truly the book of a god, you would expect it to have no mistakes. Or that people won't be able to misinterpret it.
You see, all that matters to god is for me to accept that he exists, he doesn't care whether I am a good person or not, it just shows how stupid he is lol

God does not make mistakes but humans do. You don't have to believe that the Bible is entirely free of mistakes.

We know from the Dead Sea Scrolls that there is approximately a 95% word-for-word identity for documents copied 1,000 years apart. Considering the number of generations and the technology of the time this is amazing but 95% is not 100% so it is possible that some error has entered not to mention translator biases when going from the original language to multiple others.

Given the high rate of fidelity we can, however, be confident the core message is intact. No matter how clear a text is people will always misinterpret it. This is an inevitability of human nature.
