Only that there is little "technical" in the Bible and as communication,
IMO, it fails as there are so many interpretations. I'm not so sure it was
even good in it's day (when was that exactly? isn't it a gathering of
stories from different times and for different audiences?) as it failed to
prevent wars and conflicts based on different translations and
interpretations from the get-go.

The ten commandments might pass the litmus test, but then I'm sure someone
will bring up the quasi-religious 7 +/-2 rule. ;)
