What do you call a book club that's been stuck on one book for years?

That's true. Every worthwhile moral lesson from the Bible can be summed up in about 30 seconds: hold up your end of the social contract. Don't cheat. Don't steal. Don't murder. Be compassionate, even to people who are different from you. Be generous, especially to those not as well-off as you.

This is all buried in hundreds of pages of dense prose written by a procession of unrelated, pre-medieval folks of dubious origin, haphazardly translated and assembled into a canon by centuries of people trying to bend it to serve a political agenda. You have everything from Biblical health codes (Leviticus telling you not to eat shellfish) to bronze-age Return of the Jedi (Matthew) to whatever the Hell Daniel is about.
