There are a few good parts but all the fire and gloom and how I am damned to hell... not my cup of tea. I instead retired my bible to the "fiction" side of my personal library... Where it is collecting dust....

What is with gods night long erotic wrestle with Jacob?

Genesis 32:22-32New International Version (NIV)

Kinda sounds like he hit the Blue Oyster Club.

I'm half asleep but this passage reminds me of Brokeback Mountain

"24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him"

Maybe I am reading the passage wrong but I can see your point. There are so many weird passages in the bible.

Sorry I couldn't make a good comment on this.
