Exactly my point. Virtually the entire Bible was intended as a teaching tool, stories told by priests and handed down from father to sun to teach the rule of law.
as a mom i find it hard to envision sending any of my kids to eternal suffering for anything they did at all
As a father I agree as well. In fact, I cannot believe that any sane and moral person would willingly condemn children to everlasting torment for sins committed by their parents. So what does that say about Yahweh?
