First off, I doubt you are creative enough to warp it more than the Catholic church did. And as far as gay, you'd make it more like the original Greek translations. What would be hilarious if if you can't read Hebrew or Greek and you take out stupid stuff about homosexuality and you ended up turning the bible back to what it used to be, without even knowing it.
Hopefully you could highlight the parts about tolerance and take out the parts about make sure to tell someone every day that they will burn in hell b/c they aren't as superior as you.
Oh and put in some stuff about Only those who have questioned their beliefs, who followed their hearts, not blindy followed without knowledge--will go to heaven. Those who remembered that I came to them in the form of the homeless, the Samaritian, the old woman ("three times my shadow crossed your door", the parable of the man who Jesus promised to visit for dinner). Add in that Judgement is left by God and that he who spends his day casting stones will burn eternally. Hmm a lot of that is in there...maybe you should just randomly cast out books so that they can FIND those verses easier.
Yeah that would be good. I'd definitely help you edit that. Add in a bit more of Buddhist beliefs and a lil less on treating others rudely. Yeah, I'll buy a Funky Winkerbean edition.

That could be fun. But, it is too bad Edgar Allen Poe is not still alive. He could have written a far better version of Revelations, IMO.
Also, there needs to be more jokes in the bible. Think about it. When jesus walked on water, and invited peter out there. Instead of his lack of faith causing him to fall into the water, jesus could do it just for the fun of it.
Also, we could use Ashton Kutcher do the resurrection. Then, when everyone is believing a dead guy came back to life, Ashton can jump out and say, "Peter, you've just been punk'd"
I don't know, the possibilities are limitless.

It is funny how some people make the assumptions that all Republicans are Christian, and vice-versa; that all democrats are against the war, and that all republicans are for it; or that interpreting a book so as to be better understood by a culture totally removed from the one in which it was written, somehow detracts from its reliability.
You DO know what happens when you make assumptions, correct?

This question borders on trollishness. Think twice before people's answers to the question inflame you.
This world is so warped that rewriting the Bible actually might straighen it out ... people would have a common, imagined enemy.

Sounds good. Lets mistranslate MORE Old Testament verses to suggest Jesus is the messiah. DO A BETTER JOB THIS TIME! People are finding out the TRUTH!

Must be big bucks in it if you copyright. 60 + - people have already done it. I doubt I would want to compete in a field as crowded as that.

May God have mercy on your warped mind. Don't take the Bible lightly.......God didn't!
