[Warning: possible blasphemy ahead] With the recently announced upgrade to the NIV Bible (which is what we used in the Methodist church I grew up in), it got me thinking. What if we let HBO update the stories to connect with today's youths? I could see the story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abendengo easily becoming like Entourage ... and Alan Ball should be able to handle his version of Revelations (all True Blood style) ... Paul and Silas thrown in jail for singing God's praises in ACTS -- that could be re-set as an episode of OZ ... plus all the deaths (and resurrections) could easily fill a season of Six Feet Under. One of those mega-churches should be all over this idea ...
