My favorite passage is where Paul talks about love in Corinthians. That makes sense to me. It also undercuts any Christian claim that their god loves humankind.
For the seedier stuff, I liked that part where Lot's daughters got him drunk and fucked him silly.  RE: What's your favorite (or the worst, in your opinion) bible passage?

This one:
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 34The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. 35If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church. Or maybe this one: Genesis 3:16 To the woman he said, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Or this one: Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. This one: (?) 1 Timothy 2:12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. Religious misogyny, motivated by sexual insecurity - so sexy...

Several different hemorrhoid passages vie for my top spot, but at a push, this one wins.
1 Samuel 6:3-5 3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you. 4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords. 5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land. That's one Biblical artifact I would love to see a Christian or hoaxer claim to have discovered. Better than boring old bits of cloth and wood. "Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."
