Here's my favourite:
"the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him"

although i also like the part where lot offered his daughters to a rape gang.

Here's some more choice quotes, designed to get you thinking about exactly how you are supposed to worship.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven.
Matthew 6:1 Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith . . . not by works.
James 2:14-17 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? . . . Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
Does the Bible really have this in its text?? It's surprising to know, I must say. And btw I am not a Christian so I don't know much about the Bible.

About the other quotes regarding the conflict of having faith, doing good deeds and whether or not in front of others, that too is surprising. Without any offence meant, maybe the Bible was not edited/proof-read properly? On a serious note, what is the possibility these conflicting texts were added by different people at different times? Or is there something else we may be missing?
