I read the bible. Thought "Wow, that's full of shit" and here we are. None of it really makes any sense, and it's a pretty poor moral code except for a few ideas it has that were borrowed from other cultures. Like I mean you aren't supposed to eat shrimp. And then there's working on sunday's. that's one of the top 10 laws! Top 10! If you made a list of top ten laws, working on sunday would probably not make the cut. Or at least I'd hope not. Also there's a dirt man who marries a woman who was made from one of his ribs. That's gotta be incest, right? And then their three sons populate the world somehow. Apparently god decided to leave out all the details where their wives come from. But not to worry! He drowns the rest of the world a few chapters later anyway, and then we get more incest followed by even more incest. I swear it's the biggest incestfic I've seen in my life. You've got this guy Lot who offers his daughters to be raped by the town, and he's clearly a good righteous man for doing that. Then his wife gets turned into salt for turning around for half a second, cause apparently that makes god really angry. She looked back. Don't know why. Maybe she wanted to see what happened. Maybe she left the stove on. Maybe she forgot her favorite outfit, and wanted to go back and get it. But nope. Salt. Then his daughters drug him and rape him and get pregnant and have more incest babies. Like I said, it's a bit of an incest fic. Don't tell me it isn't! If this were any book but the bible, conservatives would be freaking out about how much incest is in this book. Or maybe turned on. Depends on if it's in an elementary school run by liberals or not.

And don't get me started on the whole sacrificing his son, who was also himself, for three whole days. Jesus was betrayed? by Judas, who turned him into the roman authorities. This was, of course, part of God's plan. God needed Judas to do this, but it was Satan who tempted him into it. Are they in cahoots? Satan's like "let's get jesus murdered." and God's like "Totally." Judas is of course hte bad guy of the story, who completes the good guys plan to get himself executed. Oh and... his followers now use his form of execution as a symbol of him and wear it around their necks. If the guillotine had been invented at the time, we'd be seeing everyone wearing guillotine necklaces right now. That's kinda fucked up when you think about it.

The important parts, of course are all the parts that teach you to hate people different from yourselves. Particularly gay people. Love your neighbors (unless they're gay, or a democrat).

Wasn't hard to notice all the hypocrisy. And if people who believe that not following the book will cause them to spend an eternity being stun by scorpions in a lake of fire in total darkness won't follow all the rules in the book... well how much can they really believe in it?

As for why I didn't find another religion, well... one would have to find me first. I'm not going to go looking for a black cat in the dark unless I hear it meow.
