List everything that you can think of that is wrong with the Bible.

Nothing is wrong with the Bible, just with the way that people read it.

Well, it could stand to be a bit more entertaining.

It could have a warning included with the spicy bits, so that you can skip them if you're not turned on by mentions of blood and rape.

Or, even better! Just remove the claim that God is omni-everything, especially omni-benevolent. Then a lot of the problems with God's contradictory characteristics disappear. Of course, that leaves behind a god no one sane would want to worship, but it at least doesn't leave the Bible-believer hopelessly confused about his God, or give him leave to ignore all the horrible things God has supposedly done.

-Perchance.

Not enough pictures of all the nekkidness going on. One picture is worth a thousand words!

The fact that every last book in the Bible was written by Jews. Why not include, let's see, a book written by priests of the most important Greco-Roman deities, and something written for the occasion by Plato, and later Seneca. Oh, I forgot. Jehovah was too jealous of my gods and their former realm to let that happen.

Ojuice:

Luke, the supposed author of Luke and Acts, was not a Jew.

It says we should stone our recalcitrant children. And while I'm not big on kids, I'm not going to throw rocks at them just because they're brats.

Lev 19:28 also.
