Comment on Leviticus 12: Giving Birth is a Dirty Business by KateC

“in the blood of her purifying.”

That must be the part where you bleed like a stuck pig for weeks and weeks after you have your baby, as though to make up for all the periods you missed when you were pregnant. Also as though you didn’t bleed enough during childbirth itself. These days, instead of making you sacrifice a ewe and a pigeon, they just make you wear these unbelievably huge maternity pads and take sits baths every day. It’s awesome, I tell you. Totally glamorous.

Clearly our own damn fault for the sin of Eve.

This is the part of the bible that your average believer never reads…because if they did, they’d wonder why they’ve been taking this shit seriously their entire lives.

Comment on Genesis 11: You’ll need this fish in your ear. by Kunal

This is incredibly awesome. Reading the King James Bible for school, and using this to understand what I read.

One thing though. Genesis 11:29 is repetitive. “…Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.”
Haran is the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. Lot, Iscah, and Milcah are siblings.
Nahor and Milcah have no kids until Genesis 22:21.
“Uz [is Nahor's] first borne…”

All of your drawings and summaries are really cool. Unlike Nahor…

Comment on Genesis 26: Kings and Wells and Hittites, Oh My! by JohannesClimacus

Atheistineden. They weren’t laughing together, based on hebrew syntax they were fondling each other. Also rape way to strong a word – brothers sold their sisters in marriage which was the advantage of claiming she is sister, same went with Sarah in abraham story. Abraham claims she is sister and is rewarded by Pharaoh and Abimelech for her bride price only later do they find out they’ve been hoodwinked. When you know your wife is barren, the least you can do is get some cash out of it. Capitalism at its best Abraham refuses to bury Sarah in someone elses burial cave and so he buys it. The problems with hittites was cultural and political. Egypt who has allied with the house of abraham would not look kindly on a marriage alliance with the hittites.

God makes a fine parental role-model: if your kids piss you off, just pick your favorite and drown the rest.
