lets see. i could kill my neighbour for wearing cotton socks with elastic bands. (this is clear in leviticus)
i could sell my daughter into slavery..or better yet purchase someone elses daughter as a slave. (so long as they are from other nations)
i could stone my boss to death for making me work on a sunday. in fact i could have the entire company put to death for working on the sabbath as we tork 7 days a week here.
if i needed more farmland i could just claim that the neighbour with the best land tried to usw witchcrafe against me, then buy the land cheep after his burning death.
in fact we would all have to kill everyone else because of the 700+ rules in the bible it is impossible to follow them all.

Even a more insane one than we have now. If you hope to draw morality from the bible, read Judges,or Numbers.... murders like you have never witnessed. And ifyou think the treatment of women is bad in Africa, try biblical abuse of women.
Nope, sweets, Religion poisions everything. Read The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins... all last winter on the NYTimes best seller list,,,, and for good reason. Answers every question you ever had about religion

Very similar to the world today!
People will keep using what they like in the bible, for their own interest and ignor the rest.

A sad one. Judeo-christianity has not brought anything good with it, in fact, it is known as the white man's curse. Leave it for those who need it and get on with real life.

we'd be stoning each other to death for the silliest of reasons.
people claiming to hear voices in their heads would be idolized.
any picayune grudge could become a genocidal war
and we couldn't eat shellfish or bacon.

Which translation and which interpretation? We've already got the Catholics and the Protestants living by it - and they are not getting along too well now are they?
