I think everyone should have their own, interest-specific bible. I want to read a bible where all the original characters are replaced with characters from Lost. Or Gilligan's Island. Or the late 90s west coast gangsta rap scene.
In the beginning, Dre said "Let there be light." and, fuck yeah, bitches, it was alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll goood.
I want to read bibles written by PhRMA and the American Council of Pork Producers. Jesus didn't bring Lazarus back from the dead via a miracle, he did it via a miracle drug. And he wasn't crucified for going against the socio-political status quo, he was crucified for trying to get people to eat pork. In fact, he died so that we all might enjoy a tasty slice of bacon now and then and we owe it to him to support our local factory farms.
