David and Jonathan? The rape of Tamar? Judith and Holofernes? The Old Testament deity repeatedly killing entire herds of cattle? The very detailed requirements for the Tent of Meeting? The begats? Promoting divinatory practices like the Urim & Thummim, cleromancy, or dream interpretation...but not astrology or nature signs? 🙄

I predict this will backfire. Kids have been forced to read the Bible for generations, and they're just as likely to find the "dirty parts" ("your channels flow with nard"!!) as anything else.
