I've thought about the idea that "Jews provoke antisemitism by being too left-wing" plenty of times in the past, considering that it was a common refrain among "moderates" in Germany in the run-up to WWII The conclusion of my thinking is it's evil garbage

The Christian Bible as a whole isn't *that* long a book if it's your one sacred text that you're supposed to spend your whole life studying and basing your sense of morality and ethics on But for years I was like the only person I knew who could say I'd "read the whole Bible"

The "fucking stupid" part I won't dispute, but as an ex-evangelical, I would say they absolutely read the Bible *all the fricking time* -- DAILY "Bible study" is a norm in the culture -- but they read it in this weirdly fragmented and pre-framed way
