The Bible, I knew as a child, described an evil god who would torture you for eternity just because you were born, unless you praised him.

And if you praised him in the appropriate fashion, I knew as a child, he would reward you for your praise and not care what else you did.

I say that I knew as a child that the Bible said all of this, but I should also say I did not believe it, because it was plainly ridiculous.

And I would tell people, Christians who did not hold with this kind of talk, that they were kidding themselves about their own religion.

When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child. I reasoned like a child. Eventually I put away childish things.

When you put away several centuries of fan fiction and people's head canons that caught on, the Bible can be a remarkable book.
