If you took out all the parts that are clearly un true (the flood, the exodus from slavery, magic virgins and talking snakes) and the parts that are unpleasant, what would even be left? Jesus would have to mostly be deleted.  His magic birth, and violent death and magic rebirth are the mainstays of the story.

The entire old testament would have to go, and most of the new testament as well. So that would leave a slim volume about a man who preached to love thy neighbor. A fine thing and no harm at all to believe in. So I think the question is sort of moot.

The Jefferson bible then?
