>>40790864 (OP)The bible should literally just be a pamphlet with the fragmentary sentences that jesus possibly said without any interpretation or narrative
Im guessing that would be just a few pages. Which would be nice.
No fighting over whether jesus WAS god on earth or the son of man who lived on earth/is god jesus and jesus god or whatever they fought over for like several hundred years.
Also what about childhood to early adult era jesus stories? What did the church edit out- well its def more of a church document than a jesus biography
If the bible was a legit jesus biography with historical points of view about how he probably grew up etc that would be pretty cool.
Teach everything at once: history, "religion", religious studies, the pov of islam/buddism polytheism, what people have since done in the name of jesus ie crusades and inquisition.
That would be a fine read
