Whenever I read the Bible, and especially the first books of the OT, I honestly wonder why decent Christian folk do not discard it...all the slaughter, genocide, rape, incest, human and animal sacrifice, talking bushes and talking snakes, etc., etc. Everyone who knows even a little bit about the Bible knows it was written and edited again and again, and changed again and again, by walking, talking human beings. Why, then, not give it a new life and bring it up to our time, the 21th century? Bronze Age desert nomads aren't the best role models, that's for sure. Hey, you merry ancients, you were wrong, the world is not flat.
