>My point is that the Bible advocates violence, genocide, slavery, and more so man may not be best off employing 'morality based on the Bible' as you suggested.
Sorry for butt'n in.
But just because the Bible talks about these thing doesn't mean God approves/advocate of these things, does it?
I read it as saying that God can even use a bad situation and turn it into good. Every character in the Bible has flaws, as all humans do. But God can even use most wicked man for His good.
Isn't that one of the message we should be learning from all the Biblical stories?
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.

No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
