Yes, you are right. The toilet is too refined a tool. To fix the bible one needs a tool that matches its coarseness and barbarity:

I am sure Herr Goebbels told some beautiful stories and myths as well. Some stories have become so inextricably linked to the uses it has been put to that its uses have become by far the more important parts of the overall story than the tale it tells. All story in the bible bible can not but vanish into absolute insignificance next the story of the bible, which is the story of tens of millions of people murdered, brutalized, and infantilized on behalf of a mostly made up talkes purported about a miserable failure of men who died 2000 years ago.
