The problem people have with the Bible is that they take it to be a literal text i.e. text is reality. Wherein realistically it is a poetic text and not everything can be taken at face value. Instead the text is open to translation as seen in numerous texts written by theologians trying to interpret a passage in the Bible. Heck, there has even been great fighting over different interpretations, like Roman and Orthodox and Martin Luther.
It is a misperceived as a text that is open to only one interpretation. Also, keep in mind the text was originally Aramaic, Greek and or / Hebrew. Three languages with a slightly more complex semantics system than English.
Example, horns of light that protrude from Moses in an English bible are not really horns in the Torah. The word used has multiple meanings and don't quite mean horns but translators just went with the literal meaning of word without looking at all facets of that word in Hebrew plus the context it was put into.
