    I’m an atheist exchristian and got obsessed with the Bible while deconstructing and thoroughly read it (a few times). You probably don’t realize how right you are. It’s not just here and there either, it keeps coming, chapter after chapter, verse after verse. You find yourself asking again and again “How does anyone get moral lessons out of this?”

    At one point god tells his favorite human “hey, go sacrifice your only son as a burnt offering to me. The son I made you wait until you were old to have.” God lets the guy (Abraham) get all the way to the altar, knife in hand before saying “Woah. Holy shit! You were really going to do it!”

    Oh and god makes bears murder children because the children made fun of a bald man. God destroys a good man’s life on a bet with Satan. It goes on and on and on.
