Or pick up this beauty for only eleven bucks: www.amazon.com/Message-Numbered-Edition-Hardback-ebook/dp/B004URG5GW/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1372172714&sr=8-2 This is a fantastic Bible. Random passage (Deuteronomy 24, 1-4):

If a man marries a woman and then it happens that he no longer likes her because he has found something wrong with her, he may give her divorce papers, put them in her hand, and send her off. After she leaves, if she becomes another man’s wife and he also comes to hate her and this second husband also gives her divorce papers, puts them in her hand, and sends her off, or if he should die, then the first husband who divorced her can’t marry her again. She has made herself ritually unclean, and her remarriage would be an abomination in the Presence of God and defile the land with sin, this land that God, your God, is giving you as an inheritance.


So there you have it. Put the divorce papers in her hand and send her off.

ooh even better. "7-10 But if the brother doesn’t want to marry his sister-in-law, she is to go to the leaders at the city gate and say, “My brother-in-law refuses to keep his brother’s name alive in Israel; he won’t agree to do the brother-in-law’s duty by me.” Then the leaders will call for the brother and confront him. If he stands there defiant and says, “I don’t want her,” his sister-in-law is to pull his sandal off his foot, spit in his face, and say, “This is what happens to the man who refuses to build up the family of his brother—his name in Israel will be Family-No-Sandal.” "

FUCK OFF FAMILY-NO-SANDAL. YEAH.

OK I'll stop now but this is a fantastic version of the Bible. It almost makes it fun to read.

# I actually intended to link to the Kindle edition which is $10 cheaper
but for some reason Amazon don't like people like me trying to do things like that. Cunts.

So far as I can tell the guy who wrote The Message is deadly serious about it but what he's produced is a work of comedy genius. If I could do it without giving him twenty dollars I'd love to pick up a hardcover copy.
