The Bible Basher

Last night, I was at church. (Yes, I know that sounds a bit odd, but hear me out) During the mass, our Priest said that he wanted us to read a passage from the Bible, every day, for a year. He told us to read Genesis, Exodus, the Gospels and Acts. However, I thought a bigger challenge would be to read the whole Bible!

So, I've created an blog, The Bible Basher. On it, I'll be commenting about what I read, for 365 days. I started today, with Genesis 1-3, which itself is quite interesting. There is a passage in the Bible, when God punishes Eve for eating the forbidden fruit.

Genesis 3:16
"...And though your desire will be for your husband, he will be your master."

According to this, God invented sexism!

He apparently invented sex too, but I don't hear complaints about that.

My rusty understanding of it is that sex as an 'ism' only came into it after we dropped the biggest bollock in history by signing up to the losing side, so we still carry the can for sexism.

Its sounds like instructions for sadomasochism.

I've read the bible it took me seven days and apparently God did it, I thought it was the butler.

Luckily for me, I am a sadomasochist.

God doesn't do humour and shall smite down those who attempt comic timing into the Bible: Genesis 3 Exodous 1

"Rael Imperial aerosol kid"

Genesis - The Lamb lies down on Broadway

Fnally the greatest prog rock album makes it to the board.

My pleasure and glad to have been of service

You want to watch it - (SPOILER) there are bits in the bible like "don't have sex with animals", "don't have sex with your mum or dad or sister or brother". The ONLY reason you'd make rules like that is if people DID IT quite a lot. You only need to tell people NOT to do something if they WANT to. I mean, you've got no, "Thou shalt not kiss crocodiles" or anything like that.... Another bizarre bit is at Sodom where God and two angels (I think) go and stay in Lot's house and the men of Sodom come out and demand that they bring the "men" out so they can bugger them, so Lot offers them his virgin daughter instead to do as they like with. Nice one dad....!

Sorry - prefer Pink Floyd.

Strangely, this was never referred to in my Roman Catholic education...

There are a lot of lists (it's like, well, a *bible* for the anally retentive) and everyone seems to make it over 900 years old.

I beg to differ because if God didn't mean for man to have sex with animals then why do Zebra's wear pyjamas.

I tried to read the Bible but the last few pages were missing. Anybody tell me what happens in the end?

It's quite a hard title to track down I find.

I AM NOT A WELCOME FACE IN HEAVEN.....

Apparently tho, i can commit mass murder then repent and be welcome with open arms......

I found one in a B&B in cornwall, it was obviously a prizd posession as they were using it to prop up the bed. I hear the ending is brilliant something about it all being one massive interstellar practical joke. I can't say for sure but that might of been the collectors edition that had that ending in.

Is it out on DVD? I hear Mel Gibson had a go at a small slice of it but it seems he couldn't be arsed going through the whole thing.
