Enjoy is not the right word. Do I find them disturbing yet intriguing? Sometimes, yes. However, mostly I only reference the Bible now to assist in breaking the back of Christianity. Were christianity to die, I doubt I would ever even glance at it again.
Quote:I like reading the ancient stories, and you get an insight of how people thought back then. Hopefully one day, all religious books will be regarded as just that, ancient literature and and a way to get insight into the minds of the people at that time, how they thought, felt and saw the world.
At this point, we already know what ancient man thought:
Knowledge is dangerous.
Sickness is caused by demons.
Deities love blood.
Women are property.
Children are expendable.
Slavery is a great thing.
And the world is held up by a giant man, a giant animal, a bunch of pillars, whatever the fuck we tell you it is.
jesusfuck - it hurts the brain to realize how fucking retarded you have to be to live your life based off the scribblings of these ignorant primitives.
