I am reading the bible. . .
December 7, 2011 at 10:07 pm
Guys, I've been wrong all along. The bible is the work of the almighty Father, and you shouldn't question him. I feel so. . . enlightened now. So free.
Lol.
Anyway, no. I've been reading the bible at the request of a highly, highly religious friend. (Who, by the way, has never read the bible. She didn't even know that her supposed god made Adam out of dirt. When I told her that, she said "No, god made you in his image." She continued to deny the dirt thing, and then insisted that I read the bible.)
It is quite literally the worst book that I've ever read. There is bigotry and hatred everywhere, and about every two pages, someone is either sold to someone else or raped. Sometimes both. I can't even count how many times people have "come in to" slaves. Then, of course, you have the instances of total city/societal destruction about every twenty pages.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

Sounds like an X-rated Adult Action / Drama / Sci-Fi story, just what people like to read lol.

That should help you fall asleep, though.

I prefer the Lolcat Bible myself. Any holy book that opens with "Oh hai" is worthy of my time.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

Just to remind yourself why you don't believe that shit.
