Ever hear of the Jefferson Bible? One day he took a pair of scissors to his Bible and cut out all the supernatural stuff and all the things he thought was morally repugnant, he then pasted the remaining parts back together. He referred to the process as picking out "diamonds in a dunghill". The result was a book only 46 pages long, you can buy a copy at Amazon:
