Ugh. I'm at the halfway point according to my browser but I'm starting to really wonder if this project is at all worth the effort.

I just made it through The book of ~~Psalms~~Dogma

This is the longest book so far and the one that pounds it into you over and over again:

Ignore what anyone else says, cram you fingers deep in your ears and shout the name of the lord as loud as you can because that means you're RIGHT!

I think this book manages to kill all amusement value in reading the bible. It's not interesting, it doesn't have any good history in it or anything, it's just pure dogma drills and it makes me sad because I know it's the most referenced book in the OT (at least in the churches of my parents and grandparents) and it makes me really sad. This is the book of FEAR, SUBMIT, HATE, DO NOT QUESTION. It's a sad hateful ugly book.

The one thing that's somewhat interesting about it is that it's written from a human point of view. None of it is written as 'the word of God' unlike chunks of other books. Psalms is totally the work of man, completely and utterly about controlling the sheep.

I submit that if you're religious, you can figure out your own ways to talk to your god. Rip this book out of your bible and use it for toilet paper because that's all it's fit for. It's incredibly toxic.

Now I'm going to take a break for a bit because I'm aware of how psychological abuse works and that book could wear down anyone. Ugh. What a piece of trash.
