      Honestly, the surprising thing about the Bible is that it's often thoughtful, equivocal, and even profound. You just have to actually read it.

      I think it's a skeleton key to so much cultural and literary content

      The actual Bible is tremendously more interesting than the "Bible verses" that most evangelicals interact with the Bible as Although, I guess, it would have to be, because it's hard to imagine anything less interesting than those anodyne lists of pearls of wisdom

      The most interesting thing about actually reading all the Proverbs without a pastor looking over your shoulder is how many of them are genuinely fucked up by modern standards and how many of them just straight up don't make sense because they're from an ancient foreign culture

      Yeah - and I mean, ultimately it's a genre itself; bits of wisdom from a notably wise source (Solomon, for the most part here) to be memorized as much for their cleverness as their truth.

      Or at least, a way to say something that's sort of common sense or conventional wisdom, but in a poetic and memorable way.

      And, I mean - Solomon is *not* God. There's no canonical reason to see his sayings (even if you accept the attribution) as infallible. They're just the words of someone worth listening to and considering.

      Ah, I see you haven't encountered the proof text of Biblical infallibility (2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is God-breathed" used to forcefully argue that every verse of the Bible must be taken as the infallible Word of God

      Even the books that very clearly do not present themselves in this fashion at all, like Ecclesiastes And even though this prooftext is the weakest imaginable circular reasoning

      Like even if we take it as assumed that 2 Timothy was "God-breathed" and therefore can be used to prove all "Scripture" is God-breathed... that verse doesn't define "Scripture" at all or say what does and doesn't qualify

          The Christians had constant huge big fights over this that weren't officially settled until the Canon of Trent in 1546 and even then wasn't *actually* settled (the Catholic and Protestant Bibles are different because of the "Apocrypha")

          Evangelicals don't know the history of how the book got into their hands, and that allows them to view it as a divine gestalt descending from on high.

          This one time in Sunday School the teacher said, Why do you think there was a gap in time between the Old and New Testaments? And I said, Because Martin Luther cut the books that were written in that time period when he translated it into the vernacular. It was awkward.

          Some 1st Century rando’s Gospel of Jesus ben Jesus nods approvingly.
