    An ICE pastor is the craziest part of this story… has the cunt ever read his supposedly favourite book?

      Just the Old Testament. Yahweh is bit of a dick in that half, from what I recall. Gaslighting some dude to sacrifice his child, I think?

        YHWH is the archetype of a controlling, abusive father.

        The other highly informative part is the Book of Job, where God and Satan are hanging out and making wagers on how severely they can fuck with some decent, honest guy before he loses it.

        The opening verse of Highway 61 Revisted should be added to the Bible. It’s more insightful and better-written than most of the canonical parts. I’d also throw in Dante’s Inferno and Paradiso. I’m in two minds about adding Milton, though.

        Well in that particular case he stopped him last second like ‘oh man, you were actually gonna go through with it, nah bro just joking you don’t gotta kill your kid.’ But in other instances he fully destroyed cities, the world, and just killed random people cause they didn’t do what he said.
