Book 1: Genesis 01:001:001 In the beginning God created the heavens. God said, Let there be a firmament. And God called the firmament Heaven. 01:001:002 God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good. 01:001:003 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven. 01:001:004 And let the lights in the firmament of heaven give light upon the earth: and it was so. 01:001:005 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. 01:001:006 God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 01:001:007 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 01:001:008 And the earth was without form, and void. 01:001:009 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 01:001:010 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 01:001:011 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life. 01:001:012 And God created fish, great whales, and every living creature that swims, which the waters brought forth abundantly: and God saw that it was good. 01:001:013 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas. 01:001:014 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit: and it was so. 01:001:015 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed, and the tree yielding fruit: and God saw that it was good. 01:001:016 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the moving creature that hath life, cattle and fowl that may fly above the earth: and it was so. 01:001:017 And God made the beast of the earth, cattle and every thing that walks upon the earth and every winged fowl: and God saw that it was good. 01:001:018 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

Genesis
Rewrite the Bible
I figure the Bible is long over due for a re-write. Take out a bit of the raping and murdering and stoning, trim up some bits to better align with what we know today, and just over-all make it into a better book to be used as a life guide.
Most religious people do what they want, and then use the Bible as justification. So thinking the Bible will guide them to behaving better is thinking backwards. But at least a re-write could be less justifying?
What should it be called?
The Modern Bible?
The Ethical Bible?
The Good Bible?
