How about a complete 21st century edit?

July 2, 2025

With today’s knowledge of the physical world and what holds it together psychologically, that the Scriptures have been assembled into a politically focussed holy manual is indisputable.

True, the instructions therein underwrote the evolutionary phase at a particular point in the human experiment, but beating ploughshares into swords took time and effort. We can now summon Armageddon at the press of a button.

David O’Halloran’s plea to edit the Holy Book with a 21st century perspective, as essential as it is to humanity’s survival, may be falling on deaf ears. Manipulation and subjugation of people of faith has become a successful business model as well as a convenient excuse for utterly contemptible political conduct, at nearly every level imaginable.

But full marks for speaking out from the pulpit, David. And while you’re up there, you could call for the removal of the chapters in Genesis that gave mankind dominion over every living thing. After all, that’s where the rot really set in.
