   "Jesus also promoted the idea that all men should castrate themselves to   
   go to heaven:   "For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their   
   mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and   
   there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of   
   heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."   
   (Matthew 19:12 ASV)   
   ...   
        And just in case you are thinking that the evil and immoral laws of   
   the Old Testament are no longer in effect, perhaps you should read where   
   Jesus makes it perfectly clear:   "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to   
   pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become   
   invalid."  (Luke 16:17 NAB)"   
      
   "Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets.  He hasn’t the   
   slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament.  "Do not   
   think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.  I have come   
   not to abolish but to fulfill.  Amen, I say to you, until heaven and   
   earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter   
   will pass from the law, until all things have taken place."  (Matthew   
   5:17 NAB)"   
      
   "Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is   
   a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through   
   human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under   
   the influence of God." (2 Peter 20-21 NAB)"   
      
   "Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before   
   eating.  He defends himself by attacking them for not killing   
   disobedient children according to the commandment: “He that curseth   
   father or mother, let him die the death.”  (Matthew 15:4-7)"   
      
   "Jesus has a punishment even worse than his father concerning adultery:   
   God said the act of adultery was punishable by death. Jesus says looking   
   with lust is the same thing and you should gouge your eye out, better a   
   part, than the whole.  The punishment under Jesus is an eternity in   
   Hell.  (Matthew 5:27)"   
      
   and on and on and on...

   I was going to include the bit where Jesus gets pissed   
   at the fig tree for not having any figs, but that would   
   have been a distraction from the topic. Julia Sweeney covers   
   it in "Letting go of God", so order her DVD.   
      
   Let's suppose a Bible version (we can call it the New Redacted   
   Bible) was produced that still had all of the original, but   
   that the "oops" passages were simply printed black-on-black.   
   Now this would be *really* convenient, since you could have   
   the whole Bible, but only be able to read the parts that   
   were coherent and loving and worshipful, etc., without those   
   troubling violent, nasty, contradictory passages.   
      
   The Good Part is that, yes, it's still the WHOLE ENTIRE Bible   
   and through no fault of your own, you simply can't see the   
   kinda words that might confuse (which is another word   
   for being unable to think for yourself) you. Of course, this   
   leads us to ask just how much of it would be left to read.   
   Well, experts put this remaining heavy reading at about the   
   size of two comic books, so the strain should be bearable if   
   you had any comic experience at all before puberty.

   ps:   
   In our laboratory experiments, our staff has found   
   that the KJV Bible, the Quoran and the Book of Mormon   
   produce virtually the same BTU/hr of heat in a modern,   
   high-efficiency stove. The Torah lags by nearly 40%   
   and is not generally available in motel rooms.
