The Old Testament was a good read (minus Leviticus and Deuteronomy, of course, although even they have their interesting points). Lots of murder, pillage, politics, betrayal, and treachery presided over by a god with more than a touch of narcissism. You can keep the New Testament - bunch of spin built around a guy who, if he actually existed, was just another Jewish dissident in a time that was rife with dissidents and messiahs.
