How can the Bible be accepted today when it includes these kinds of ridiculous and hateful things?

For instance:
If a man rapes a woman who has not lost her virginity the father of the victim must then sell his daughter to her rapist to be married:
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered he shall pay the girls father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl for he has violated her. Deut. 22:2829
Women must be in subjection to men. They cannot teach nor presume authority over a man the US military is in violation of this at least but must sit in silence. Furthermore only Eve was to blame in the myth of Eden Adam was not deceived So why did he eat the fruit then?. Women are also not permitted to speak in church apparently it is a shame.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed then Eve. And Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1 Tim. 2:1114
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 1 Cor. 14:3435
Homosexuals should be put to death:
If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death their blood shall be upon them. Lev 20:13
The Israelites were commanded to slaughter everyone they conquered with the exception of young virgin girls which they should keep for themselves Can anyone say rape or pedophelia?. I wonder who were the lucky guys that got to check to make sure they were virgin? These are peoples daughters and sisters here dont forget.
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children that have not known a man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves. Numbers 31:1718
And thirty and two thousand persons in all of woman that had not known man by lying with him. Numbers 31:35
When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands and thou hast taken them captive And seest among the captives a beautiful woman and hast a desire unto her that thou wouldest have her to thy wife Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house and she shall shave her head and pare her nails Deut 21:1012
And this is the thing that ye shall do Ye shall utterly destroy every male and every woman that hath lain by man. And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh which is in the land of Canaan. Judges 21:1011
Sacrificing virgin girls doesnt only happen on volcanoes the Hebrew god likes human sacrifice too
of which the LORDs tribute was thirty and two persons. Num. 31:35
Apparently these people are presumtious enough to believe that one day they will judge angels wow
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Cor 6:3
A requirement for the messiah was to be of the bloodline of David which Jesus claimed through his stepfather Joseph. How does that work?
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David and the virgins name was Mary. Luke 1:27
The Jews are the master race all other races are their possession to be taken as slaves:
Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids which thou shalt have shall be of the heathen that are round about you of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you of them shall ye buy and of their families that are with you which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you to inherit them for a possession they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. Lev. 25:4446
In fact slavery is OK. Additionally slaves should submit themselves to their owners even the ones who treat them harshly:
Slaves in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters not only to those who are good and considerate but also to those who are harsh. 1 Peter 2:18
People have had conversations with donkeys people actually insist that science supports the bible so I guess science supports talking donkeys too?:
And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass and she said unto Balaam What have I done unto thee that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ass Because thou hast mocked me
First off Jesus did not come to change the laws of the Old Testament:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you Till heaven and earth pass one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:17:18
And if the OT was irrelevant then why do people still read it? Why are the 10 commandments so often quoted if they no longer apply? Maybe the OT should be highlighted so we know which parts to read and which parts not to :
Only the real conservative heed the verses about women not speaking in church? Is the bible the word of god or not? You cant just pick and choose what to adhere to.
Additionally it was only the hebrews in that timeframe who believed it was a dishonor for a woman to have sex before marriage. In the surrounding AstorethBaal religion it was actually a requirement for women to have sex before marriage.
And what of the hebrew men? They were not remain virgins for their future mates or sexually exclusive since they were polygamists.
It was not a bad thing for the victim to be married to her rapist Wow. Rapists should get a bullet to the brain not their victims to wive in any time frame.
I dont see how the passage about slavery can be interpreted to mean anything else.
