Hello ^^
I somewhat agree with what you have said, even Anton LaVey (the parent of satanism) said Satan is the best friend of the Church and he had kept it in business all these years; Even the Bible says to be in the world but not part of the world. Organized religion is human-made and is a tool by the Illuminati to control the masses - they have deeply corrupted Christianity, but that does not mean that the truth is unavailable, it is just very hard to find it.
There are a lot of ?cruel? things in the Old Testament, but I think that we have to search, why could that be so (make connections to the New Testament, for instance). It is said that the Law from the Old Testament is fairer and righter even than the Code of Hammurabi (I hope I have spelled it right). We have been programmed to think in a certain way, even though what happened in the Old testament somehow was cruel, I think it is fair, it was a righteous judgment. We always point to the so-called cruel things, but why don't we take into consideration the cases of mercy? For example, even though David has killed Uriah to have his wife (Bathsheba) for himself, God made their son, Solomon, a ruler over Israel, and he was the wisest man ever alive.
A lot of meaning has been lost in translation, and (of course) it has been touched over the ages (modified to hide the truth); for example, the Book of Enoch is not in the Bible because the Vatican does not agree with it or something, yet it is the only book that could explain the Nephilim in the Genesis 6.
But I still think that the Bible has The Truth, maybe it would be best to study the KJV and in parallel with it to study the meaning in Hebrew/Greek of the passages that seem to be cruel/misunderstood/mistranslated/strange, etc. And besides the Bible, Apocrypha and other related works could help gain a deeper understanding.
I hope I have helped somehow, have a nice day~
God bless you ^^
