    You made it worse. This is why I left Christianity. Plus it’s just a cult and/or money making machine now. If anything, the Bible makes monsters.

      You abandoned Christianity because the Bible contains jokes?

      I’m fully coming around on the idea of religious education in public schools. If this gets more of you dour fuckers out of the church, perhaps we’ll see improvements.

          Much later in the Bible, an especially good King is described as being “so faithful that he roasts his meat in water”. It’s a Biblical author literally cracking a joke about a Biblical contradiction. These moments aren’t some shocking gotcha to any reader paying attention.

          This is why I left Christianity.
