Score, lol. Really though, they can't be too many iterations away from "God Hates Everything." Presumably they'll stop short of "God hates God".

In re the Bible being a "liberal" book, I wish I could agree. Unfortunately, I have made the mistake of actually reading it, and sadly lack the capacity for jawdropping feats of mindbending that allows moderate Christians to read the King James English version of "kill the dirty fags" and take away from it "don't judge".

Although in fairness, the Bible actually *does* say not to judge, in its better moods. And includes some genuinely radical, even beautiful thinking. It's not like it was all written by one guy, after all.

The problem is that by and large, Christians are still humping this fantasy that the Bible is the One Monolithic Inerrant Truth that Came from the Magic Man. So it's near impossible to have an honest conversation about its content. They can't simply say about something in the Bible, "This part is crap. We're throwing it out."
