For some reason, religious leaders are bad storytellers.
Really? I've often found religious and mythological literature to be fantastic fiction.
Well sometimes when you read an adaptation of it. I like reading adaptations of mythology. The originals though Boooring!

Quote: 1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
12 And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel: etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.....
There is so much of that shit in the bible boring pointless parables. The stories might be interesting but the bible itself is not good literature. The qu'ran is maybe even worse, at least with the english translation it's so bad as to almost be unreadable. At least I could read whole chapters of Atlas Shrugged without passing out into a Coma.
