The bible is a long, and tedious read. This, I feel, is the reason why most people just believe the story of god and never really get into reading the whole of the bible. It’s just to much work..
I have read the bible. And found it to be, quite frankly, a pile of stinking excrement. And that’s putting it nicely.
In this book you will find three basic sets of text that will help you read through this work.
The first is passage text:
1 And god said on to thee…
This text is directly from the bible (NIV version), and has not be edited by me at all. It comes to you directly as the people who wrote this translation intended it to come.
There is also this kind of text:
When the rain fell, what happened with the fish?
This type of text is my remarks regarding the bible passage that you have just read.
The last font is:
…where exactly Babylon is could be…3
This type is a quote from an other source outside of the bible.
I have chosen this format for a particular reason. I could have elected to re-write a general synopsis of each chapter and then taken the systematic approach to dismantling it. But I’ve found that people will automatically disregard your interpretation of the events as boundless and un-educated. For example if we were to chose Genesis 1:1, and I were to write a synopsis of the events it might look like this:
In the beginning there was nothing. God created something. He divided this something. He often times called this something good. And then he rested.
It is obvious in this case that I’ve left out some very important details. But I do this to illustrate that even if I chose to re-write the whole bible from my standpoint, there would always be those that believe I have left out important details that needed to be included.
That is why I have elected, instead, to include the passages from the bible that I am arguing against. In this way the language that the authors chose to use can be seen, as well as there will be no glossing over of the shear ineptitude of god’s obviously incompetence.
In the book, I’ve taken the offensive approach, and not capitalized the word god. It’s my contention that there may very well be a God, but to say that Yahweh is this one God is both insulting and a sign of ignorance, being that you don’t know the evils that Yahweh has offered down on humanity. So when you see ‘god’ assume that I’m talking about the biblical mythos, while if you see ‘God’ then assume that I’m talking about the ‘idea’ of such a being as to what a deity should be…not what the bible has dubiously created for us.
I realize that there will be times in the reading of this work that you might find my rebuttal lacking of sophistication. You might think my writing amateur, pedantic, and sophomoric. I realize that I’m not the most gifted writer and sometimes the concept that I’m trying to elude to is, well, elusive, to begin with. I recommend that you take only the idea away and do what is necessary of any great being: research! Find the truth yourself.
