Quote:Christians put right in the front of their bibles that it "comes from the original tongues."
Well they put the Septuagint in the front of their silly new testament, I'll grant you that. As far as that being "un-fucked" uh, no. It's as fucked as all other holy horseshit.
Robert Price has a new book out called
Holy Fable: The Old Testament Undistorted by Faith
Quote:
In this first of a comprehensive two-volume study of the Old and New Testaments, Dr. Robert M. Price builds a spacious and sturdy ark to carry Bible readers over the floods of mystery that have long perplexed them. Why are there multiple creation stories? Who are the -sons of god- in Genesis? What's really going on with those Isaiah passages that preachers love to read at Christmas? Putting a lifetime of biblical scholarship hard at work on perhaps his most momentous project yet, Dr. Price explains the mysteries without scorning them. The beloved old Bible is revealed to be indeed a Fable, but still a Holy one in its sprawling and fascinating way.
But fables are just fables.... and that is about as fucked as you can get!
