Have you read the good book?
RE: Have you read the good book?
Nah, that's just a sign you're full...

(Fuck, I'm a right dirty mongrel ain't I?)
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

One sperm says to another, "I'm tired. How much further?"

The other responds, "A long way yet. We're barely past the tonsils."
Dying to live, living to die.

I have read the Protestant Bible (I have yet to read the added books from the Catholic version) in it's entirety (I may have glanced over Numbers when it repeated itself for the various tribes) to know the full story.

As a Christian trying to understand all the rules, I have examined some parts more thoroughly. Such as even though the NT allows Christians to eat previously banned food, blood is still forbidden to be consumed.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

No black pudding for you, then?

The only English food I will permit is fried fish.

But not on Fridays, presumably.

That's a Catholic rule and even though I am expected to practice Catholicism due to my ethnicity, I don't.

So how special do you think the 'good' book really is, Polaris? Was that really the best the omni guy could do to convince us all to do his bidding and thus avoid his wrath? (Certainly not omni-smart, is He?)

If God really wanted us to be convinced, He would have removed our free will.

I can be convinced of something without losing my free will. In fact, I can believe in quite an assortment of reasonable things in that manner. If another person can figure out a way to convince me of something, I'm sure a god could as well... if it actually exists.
