I disagree with that. The old testament is quite accurate as a recorder of history. Like they mention the hittite which were censored by most historians due to political reasons. If you haven't read it already, you might enjoy Asimov's "Guide To The Bible". Although it's a secular work, it's not critical of the religious aspects of The Bible but instead compares the events described in it to other historical works of the same time period. Yes. It is phenomenal. I believe, though I could be wrong, Asimov is the only person to have a book in every 1 of the 10 major categories of the Dewey Decimal System. Though, one is technically just a forward for aa book, but it's pretty damn impressive nontheless.

I know it...
DOCTOR WHO - THE CURSE OF FENRIC.
Serial 3, season 26, 1989.
A bit earlier than that, I'm afraid.
Although, after Googling, it surprised me to find that Fenric had similarity to my first thought of Fenris in Marvel's Asgard. Ow-woooooo

Revelation 13:18 KJV: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. I always enjoyed THE OMEN and its sequels. Revelation reads like it was written by someone who dined on a bit too much ergot-infested rye bread.

Okay. First of all, I can tell this book is crap. Jesus may have had a sibling? Well duh. His name was James and he has a pretty big role in the New Testament. The Catholic bibles censor this, but its indisputable. Also, I dont recall anywhere in the Bible saying that Jesus was born on Christmas. That's ridiculous. In fact, it has shepard's watching over their fields in the bible, which they wouldn't have done in winter, but probably would be in summer or spring.
It's for people who know nothing........or very little except what they may have learned in Sunday School, about the Bible.
Christianity has a long history of borrowing things, adapting things and editorializing itself along the way.

Well and to be fair, you did say it was a comedy book.

Well, I expect they both drew inspiration from the same source material.

I must admit things were starting to drag and become a bit repetitive.

This is mine. I wish Trump would tweet it sometime.
All the words of wisdom yet this alone stands out to you? Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

I have quite a few favorites and can't quite narrow it down to one:
2 Chronicles 7:14 Jeremiah 6:16 Isaiah 40:31

Psalm 137:9
Even The Daleks stand a-gape (if we had mouths) at this pure wisdom.

Mark 12:17
And Jesus answered and said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
And they marveled at Him.

Love thy neighbor. A verse that is lost on a lot of conservative Christians... That's a good one. "Make love with thy neighbor" is even better.

Then I would tweet back Leviticus 19:24: "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God." Leviticus is not the best Bible book to be following literally. LOL.
Otherwise you'll be eating kosher, making sure your sacrficies to god are on point, mixing fabrics in clothes, et cetera.
And, and if you have sex with a woman on her period, you get put to death.
A wonderful example of someone simply ignoring the parts of their holy book they don't agree with, which really renders the entire text moot. Thanks for that.

Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that ye not be judged" Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
