Holy books in many religions get editted from time to time. Perhaps its time to consider some edits? Among some problematic parts I’d note the calls for genocide of certain people, religious commandments that “chosen” people should hold themselves as distinct from others and treat them differently, and statements that certain lands belong to them and them alone. Religious books arent a reasonable basis for land sharing or ownership.

At the end of the day these are just pages in books with ideas in them. Ideas some dusty old misanthropic guy penned thousands of years ago when civilization was different. The ideas arent working well for anyone these days, so how about we just change those so they are compatible with our current realities? Why are we all just – stuck – with ancient ideas that cause massive, massive problems?

Heck, while we have the pen out lets fix all the parts that oppress women? Anyone disagree with that? Would human rights and equality for all be taking it too far? If so, why?
