Why is the Bible the world's greatest work of art? It has everything which includes but isn't limited to heroic saga, prophetic vision, legend, symbolism, the Gospel of Jesus, poetry, oratory, etc. I mean, why even read anything else? Asking honestly.

Is anyone else in a religious denomination which encourages you to read the Bible and try to apply the words to your current life and maybe life problems? I was Mormon and we were taught God will literally give us advice if we look for it in the scriptures. Like I could open the Bible to a random page and read for a few minutes and get the advice I needed. My wife is Catholic and didn't really know what the hell I was taking about

Catholics are about appealing to authority clouded in Latin and golden raiment.
Anything post reformation, obviously including Mormonism is going to encourage you to actually read and interpret it.
Funny, I am in the UK and met some Mormon girls recently, very nice people, I decided to read your book.

It isn't.

When St. Augustine started reading the Bible after he read the Greeks, he was surprised at how primitive and crude it was.

It is. So much so it inspires of tons of other great art too.

Yeah, I bet your jewish book of fairy tales is the greatest work of literature ever created, it's definitely not you being a christcuck.

Only a Jew or someone hopped up on modern media would hate what this book has done for 2000 years of Western history. Or Western canon, I should say.
It was only ever Jews who were known for your rabid behavior up until recently. The only ones who couldn't control themselves and spewed venom on everyone around them. Even liberals and atheists or deists knew this like picrel. That you think it's acceptable now shows how lost you really are.
You're not noble. You're swine and destroy civilization, just as they wreck and destroy all greenery around them.
