Very grotesque stories, sure, I didn't quite mean ALL of them. Some are just plain out stupid. Though, just like Christians do anyways with the 'new testaments', I'm sure you could pick those out.

Hell, I remember they did the whole grape vine story to use as an excuse to hate gays. "If it can't create, it should die." Thus the whole "Gays deserve to die." Most people counter that with sterility/infertility amongst heterosexual genders. So sometimes people misinterpret some metaphors. I guess the Bald guy story is more about guilt and how bad things happen when you torture people's self esteem or something like that. The woman glancing over her shoulder promiscuous and god salted her would be more like "God REALLY frowns on you being sexual" which in turn I'd think it's more of a "You get whatever you get if you ask for it." I don't know. I didn't READ the bible, but know some of the stories commonly shared or used.

It all comes to the idea that if you believe everything you read in the bible verbatim, then you're ignorant. None of anything that happened in the bible then happens now. You can learn from the book, and still be open minded. It should be taken like those old "Chicken soup for the [X] soul" type thing. Just something to help you interpret what's happening in your life now.

"I stole from Grandma, and I feel like shit and don't know why." The bible teaches what guilt is and feels like, and also tells you how to redeem yourself. Bible probably says "Chop your hand and serve it to the victim on a silver platter", but should be interpreted that basically have to do something very obvious, self-sacrifice and very apologetic and show that you've learned your lesson and won't do it again because you're a good human after learning.
