Censoring = Fun Game of Hangman

This is already my third post as it hasn’t been and hour yet.

1) Don’t put the forbidden tree in the middle of the fucking garden.  I have a hunk of radioactive uranium and I’m going to put it in the middle of my bedroom.

2) Why exactly did Adam name a bird “Booby”?

3) Why can’t God create Eve out of dust as well? Was a rib really that necessary for an all-powerful God?

4) So now the serpent is cursed to crawl on its belly. Then what did it look like before?

5) Seriously? I have no knowledge and this serpent just gave me a perfectly logical reason to eat from this tree, and now you’re punishing me for it? I’m going to dragon kick a baby because it doesn’t shut up when I tell it to.

6) Asking Cain why he is so downcast after rejecting his offering? I just got a huge bonus paycheck and I’m going to rub it in everyone’s faces.

7) Why is Cain so afraid of anyone attacking him? THERE IS NO ONE.

8) Where did Cain’s wife come from? Did he make a blow-up doll from mud and a soggy watermelon?

I am reading the Bible (New International Version) on biblegetaway.com.  If anyone thinks that it is not a reputable source, feel free to make suggestions.

The order of creation in Genesis 1 goes like this: light; water and sky; land and sea; plants and vegetation; the sun, moon and stars; sea creatures and birds; land animals; humans; and then he rested on Sunday.

However, in Genesis 2, which is the “account of the heavens and the earth when they were created”, it is said that there wasn’t any vegetation when God created the first human being: “[N]o shrub had yet appeared on the earth, and no plant had yet sprung up…” Does this mean that he created man before creating vegetation on earth?  But didn’t Genesis 1 just say that God created vegetation before humans?

Maybe I’m just a little bit too nit-picky. Maybe the land was too barren to support life at the time.  However, if God was so powerful that he could create light, then barren land shouldn’t have been a problem (and also considering he created Eden right after). 

Maybe tiny contradictions like these are acceptable for such an old piece of literature. However, confusion between something as simple as “your” and “you’re” on a Youtube comment, and *your* dead meat.

Moving on.

I don’t know why I’m posting this on a blog that no one follows, but Facebook doesn’t seem apt for this kind of activity.

In light of recent events in North Carolina, I’ve decided that I don’t know enough about Christianity to argue against it.  As an atheist, it amazes me how one book can be used as an excuse by many people to hate on others because they’re different.  Any hypocrisy or injustice perpetrated by any fundamentalist can be defended and protected by this piece of literature.  

My Christian friend considers many unreasonable bible quotes e.g. allowance of slavery, stoning people to death for working on Sunday, women not allowed in positions of authority, to be taken out of context.  

That’s bullshit.  

You can’t pick and choose bible quotes you like and those you don’t, just like how I can’t choose 1+1=2 on weekdays and 1+1=3 on weekends. Fundamental truths are fundamental truths; if you intend to follow them, then you must follow them in its entirety.

Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) stated the best way to become an atheist is to read the Bible.  Read the Bible, and you will find so many contradictions in there that, unless you have the brain of a mule, you will have no choice but to turn away from religion.

Let’s do this.

You have friends.

Compatriots who, despite your wear, tear, wrath, abuse, and jealousy, continue to be a source of shoulders, encouragement, and pats on the back.

A parent who pushes way to far and insults you.  The tough love that forces you to prove them wrong.  

Natural skills that I can never achieve.  The skills that make you such a talented individual.

You have so many opportunities handed to you on a silver platter.  You merely choose to not receive them.

Social skills and networking: knowing so many talented and skilled people.  Guaranteed to succeed.  You push them away, treating them like garbage.

Me.  What do I have?

A privileged life, where I must push myself.  

Money, which cause more problems.

A hardworking dad whom a barely ever get to see.

Talents I can never hope to achieve.

Skills that don’t matter.

No one I can truly confide in.

There are very few precious moments in everyone’s life.  Mine’s are all tainted by yours.

Am I any more privileged than you?

Staring down the infinite stretch of asphalt

and listening to cars rush by.

Wondering what their destinations and goals are

and if they will ever reach.

I am free. 

You suddenly invade my mind

with misery, rue, and malevolence.

You make me frigid

yet I still shiver in fear.

I am not free.

The goodbyes from the curbside;

the hugs from picking a friend up;

the chivalrous motion of opening the door

hoping for that slim chance of approval.

Humanity exists, and

I am free.

My phone rings with the recognizable ringtone that is 

yours, and I start weeping in agony.

I am past my due, yet

I do not want to return home.

I am not free.

I sneak towards the yellow strip of divide and

lay down, watching the stars.

Your call continues to sound, yet

I don’t hear.

I am free.

Soon.
