I hope, by that, you mean that pinhead translations are not worth shit and not that the Bible itself is not worth shit.

It all has to do with this little ambiguity in English called the pronoun. "It" can refer to any other noun or pronoun in the same sentence or in any previous sentence or paragraph. I can't tell which you mean but I hope the former.
