Don't forget "Blow Jesus out your ass!"
I want to take it seriously so that I may "know thy enemy", but I'm not motivated to do so, and I don't budge if I'm not motivated by some single minded goal. And I think I've narrowed the initial snag to having no clue what the mechanism is that makes a book divine. Without that, I just go cross-eyed when I see "14:1 and Jesus fingered his peehole.." Just no interest to be read up on that nonsense. I feel like I'm watching some trashy reality show; an absolute waste of my time.
I have this thing where, if a subject is settled in my mind, I don't really care what someone else says about it, and that really puts a damper on the whole learning thing. Now, I maintain an agnostic stance on any god existing, but as far as biblical claims go, I'm a fairly strong atheist, which means I'm not holding out a mustard seed of hope that anybody will bring something new to the table. This thread is sort of my attempt to regain interest, and I'm doing so with what I think is an interesting question. A question which really goes for any religious text. It doesn't matter what the fuck it says, if your going to tell me it's divinely inspired, I'm gonna wonder how that is and why you believe it.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
