Pure gold

that is a good one yes

That great portrayal of bitter hitorical struggle

agitation

Both those books copied from older stories

royalty and unwashed masses

politicians and merchants

I really like job though

On the other hand you have Revelations, a complete and utter diatribe

the only story that I remember well is the Noah-arc

not because it sends the message that if you believe god will provide but becuae is shows how determination and will to continue are the best reward

I think it's pretty brutal

Rev great for scaring the masses into submission

revalations is a nightmare wrapped up inside a metaphor of metaphors

god drowns all the non-believers

@tana true

true about Job I mean

yea, thats why i like job

Revelations is the typica example of middle-eastern prophetic books, not just Biblica, desperately trying to be "mystical" by munching about completely incoherent stuff

job himsef was determined to continue and in the end because he did so he was rewarded by himself

The great flood took out all the shitheads except a few. God failed in his eugenics

I think it's pretty aristocratic

I've actually broken revelations down somewhat in terms of what characters are who,

I mean the Christian Orthodox reading of Genesis is pretty much the worst type of reading

pretty interesting what the seven seals actually talk about

@tana - that thought is exactly a Norse tradition of perseverance.

genisis is awful

The Original Sin dogma is the most base interpretation of "The Fall"

YHWH never said anywhere that he considers their actions Sin

In fact, his actions were completely selfish

thank you modem

Tho genisis tracks to modern interpretation of string theory and time lines.

i suppose you have a point, its just the whole seven days, seven nights, and boom.....idk

i've read and re read it, can't buy it

It would be the typical olympian-inspired story wasn't it for the remainder of Bible and for the orthodox interpretation

"Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever"

Nothing about "morality" here

Fascinating that god "spoke" Speaking involves vibration.... take it from there and sting theory, unique vibration of all things is interesting to ponder.

really it is

i love string theory

I'm not really interested that much in scientiic perspective on Bible
