That's close, Top, but while saving the good parts I would also like to remove the bad ones. The nasty stuff in the Bible has been used for centuries to justify all kinds of violence against certain people. "Suffer not a witch to live" was the basis for burning a million women at the stake, gay bashing is based on scripture as well.  We don't need more justification for doing bad things.


I don't see why Christians would be upset about the things I'm suggesting.  How many Christians advocate slavery, selling children, burning witches, or killing gay people?  How many Christians agree that women should be spoils of war?  Why are Christians soooooo focused on all the nonsense in the Bible and so silent about the really good things that Jesus said?  Aren't they Christ-ians?
