I read the Bible straight through one summer at my grandparents house in Tulsa. More as a completionist achievement than anything else, but it comes in handy.

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

You should try reading the bible while experiencing psychosis. Becomes pretty obvious that a lot of the people writing it were of the same mind.

And when you realise that '666 the number of the beast' refers to the number of neutrons, protons and electrons in an atom of carbon 12, the singular element that is the basis of organic chemistry and all life on earth, that in the form of fossil fuels it is responsible for wars

Yeah, no, it really doesn't. It's Gematria of the name of the emperor Nero.

Coolest thing the Binding of Isaac did was render "The Mark" as a triskelion design instead of just looking like the number 666 I didn't realize what it was at first and then when I realized the triskelion was made of 6's I was like "Whoa that's awesome"

Like I would legit get that as a tattoo if I wanted to pursue a music career in the Christian-parent-angering genre
