You forget that the bible doesn't endorse these perversions. The whole OT is a long catalogue of how sin, travelling down the generations, defaces and destroys. War, genocide, captivity, exile, murder, adultery, slavery, fornication, sodomy, treachery, betrayal, jealousy, lies, deceit, exploitation, destruction, hypocrisy, oppression, anger, rebellion ... just a few of the uglinesses you'd expect to find in the scriptures. They are some of the evils that blight humanity, and they all arise in human heart.
The parallel theme is how the promise of redemption travels through history, issuing in a most unexpected way.
The Good News doesn't make any sense unless you first understand the Bad News.
