Agreed! There ARE actually some stories/verses in there that I like! (Shit! Does that mean I'm still an Christian?) 10 Commandments: 5-Honor your father and your mother, 6-You shall not murder, 7-You shall not commit adultery, 8-You shall not steal, 9-You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor, 10-You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s." (I've ignored the 1st four commandments)
As moral beings, most of these should be "obvious" to us! I am sure though that we would be able to find these "nice" verses in most religious books.
