17. Rewrite the Bible?
someone needs to rewrite the Bible if they are really serious about the Christian religion. Stories like the one about Joshua and Jericho set a bad example.

I don't think that Christians (whose religion dates back to about 33 AD) have any real part of the blame for what took place in Old Testament times.

And one doesn't rewrite history because it sets a bad example. One leaves history alone so that one can learn from prior bad examples.

Or was Orwell's Ministry of Truth on the right path after all?
