Topic: So, we know the Bible was written by a bunch of angry old fuckers

...who imagined their tribal deity would strike down everyone they didn't like, including their own wives and children if they didn't obey.
So, what if the bible had been written by a bunch of angsty, whining teenagers full of hate, rage and emo? Would it have been much different?

I think this is a fascinating topic and I look forward to reading what OP comes up with when he finishes writing his own bible.

Such a large project would probably require more than one author. Perhaps you'd be interested in contributing some material?

No. Just curious to know if people here think it would be any different if it were written by angry teens rather than angry patriarchs.

Heterosexual rape is already considered acceptable in the Bible. Do you mean there'd be more homosexual rape?

Plenty of racial prejudice in the Bible already. In the original scriptures, they used derogatory terms analogous to words like nigger, coon, spic, dago, wop, etc.

Me, obviously.

In the "Teen Angst Bible", would rape be legal or illegal? For example, would there be a commandment against it, or a commandment to do it?

Well, the problem is that I'm not a teen and I'm not that angsty either. All the same, I'd be interested in hearing whatteens teenz and young adults would say on the subject. For example...would there be any mention of a god in a Teen Angst bible?

The earliest known manuscripts (ie the so-called Dead Sea Scrolls) were transcribed by Essene monks in Qumran. The original source materials were most probably compiled by Jewish hostages in Babylon, who probably wouldn't have wielded any political power whatsoever.
