> The Bible? The Torah?

Funny examples you list there, where reinterpretations still happen after 2000+ years.

The approach in your comment is very pop culture or mainstream religion view of this, not an actual, historical one.

Reinterpretation happens, but shit would hit the fan if you actually went ahead and published a bowdlerized, inclusive, LGBT-centric Quran. Salman Rushdie would have another friend in his misery.

It is worthwhile to meditate on Nassim Nicholas Taleb's idea that the most intolerant minority tends to win.
