Is the Bible still relevant today?

A BIG NO

Relevancy is relative. It depends on which side of the pulpit you stand.

i agree with dirtynick. the bible is a book commonly talked about but rarely read. if any devout christian who can attest to reading the whole the bible and not be repulsed by all those killings (babies, children, women), genocide, rape, incest, slavery, contradictions, brutal ritual killings of animals, betrayals, made-up arbitrary laws based on hate, ignorance, and ancient political shenaningans (killing homosexuals, non-virgin brides, sabbath law breakers, etc.), lechery and sexual imagery. thats just for the old testament. the new testament is filled with plagiarism, non-reliable witness account (how many blind man did jesus heal? how many people were present during the resurrection? etc.), jesus rage ( fig tree, marketplace), AND the twisting of all of that further by no other than st. paul himself with all his made up letters. st. paul never even knew jesus personally but like an ambitious evangelical seeking and audience for fame, power, and possibly money, he did it anyway and messed up the early church.
modern christians of all denominations are ignorant of this because the are TOLD what the bible is and rarely read it for themselves. a prime example is christmas. you can look it up to prove to yourselves the difference of what has been TOLD to you and what IS in the bible. get your bibles ready and read up in leviticus and ask yourself if you can follow the laws as devoutly and truthfully as you can. i assure you, in no time you will be stoning to death the majority of your loved ones and the people around you. if after reading the bible from cover to cover- like how you read a normal book- and you still insist that the god in the bible is a just, loving diety, then your very morality core is compromised hence you may speak of love and yet the "hate flows through you". if you found out that the bible is a rather sinister work of fiction, welcome to the age of reason.

It's relevant for museums and studies on Mithology and on human capability of believing in almost anything albeit its complete irracional nature.
