Active, it seems to me that you are basically saying "the bible has alot of good ideas on how to live" nobody is going to argue with you, but originally you said "why should I not base my beliefs on the bible?." If by "base your beliefs on the bible" you mean follow the basic moral code, then theres no reason not to, although the bible is far from the only collection of ideas to provide similar guidance, if you mean, why should you not stone people to death, it creates a whole seperate question.
It really seems to me like you keep changing the question. The bible is one of a large number of collections of thoughts on how to live a moral life, they all say pretty close to the same thing when it comes to how to treat people, and you can be a pretty good person by following them.
