The way I see it, the leaders of a particular sect want to impart certain values and beliefs. So they pick out particular passages that support them, and any that don't are either ignored, explained away as meaning something other than what they say, or twist the meaning to fit in with the ideas they already have, claiming that that they understand it "in context". They justify this by claiming that the Holy Spirit gives them understanding, and that atheists aren't guided by the Holy Spirit so can't understand it (ie, don't interpret it to mean something other than what it says). The Bible is a collection of myths and legends – not all related - derived from neighbouring peoples from the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean. Examples include the Sumerian creation epic Enuma Elish from which the Genesis Creation Story was probably derived, probably via the Canaanites, and the Noah story is almost identical to the story of Utnapishtim in the epic of Gilgamesh. Those who wrote the books of the Bible probably intended them to be taken literally, unless they said otherwise in such phrases as "And he spake many things unto them in parables" (Matthew 13:3) for example. And the laws - given authority by using a deity as their origin - are from a time when attitudes to how people behave seem barbaric to us now. But that's hardly surprising; slavery was only abolished for us 200 years ago, and being gay was a crime here in the UK until the 60s (I was a teenager when that was changed). And the death penalty was abolished here within my lifetime. And women were still not considered equal to men in the workplace even just 30-40 years ago. So, even looking back a comparatively short time, we can see that attitudes have changed and what was once held perfectly moral and supported biblically is now considered immoral or even barbaric. I wonder what we now consider normal and moral will be considered barbaric and immoral in 50 years' time.

A myth is a metaphor in terms of which we try to make sense of the world. It does not necessarily mean something that is false or imaginary. In some usage when one says the word "myth" it is almost a synonym for falsehood, but the older more strict use of the term is as I described above.
