i would go back to the time when they revised the bible, i think it's called the nicean convention or something, but there was a time when they decided what was christian enough of the christian mythos and i would make some much needed adjustments.
i think religion is beautiful, but an absolutely necessary facet of it needs to be fluidity, an ability to evolve. i think the bible along with it's good messages included current social standards that have no bussiness there. mainly, no one predicted that 2000 years later we would fight of mis translations, spelling errors etc.
anyways my point.
could you imagine where mankind would be today if the great minds of the last 2000 years were encouraged to flourish rather than worry the church won't like their science. if galielo could have been given a grant instead of being forced to retract his findings?
where could geology be if they were allowed to ask how old the earth is rather than be told it's 6,000.....because the bible says so.
medical science crippled by strange morals forbidding disection, autopsy. the entire victorian era and how women recieved such poor care because doctors weren't allowed to veiw their anatomy.
i think a couple quick clean passsages could reshape mankind in such an impactful way, for the better. just keep the same crap, the stuff for the sheep, because youneed that. you need to accept people are sheep and like children you sometimes need to tell a nice story for their own good, but to simply allow room for those stories to change, when the minds of the people grow to accept new facts you don't need to lose your religion, simply have a religion that is capable of accepting new facts.
it could be utopian.
you know, in the creepy crappy, futuristic sci fi way. but rather pleasant none the less.
