Sex Starved Eve--Or Why The Anglican Church Is So Messed Up
In an attempt to encourage people to read Bible stories, an Anglican Vicar, Rev Robert Harrison, has come out with a new book containing 10 *reworked* Bible stories:Goliath is a celebrity binge drinker, Eve is a sex-obsessed man-eater and Noah's wife wants to kill him . . . welcome to the updated Bible.The Reverend doesn't view what he is doing as blasphemous, of course, and sheds some light on his reasoning behind his book:
In the nativity story, Jesus is born in an overcrowded house instead of a stable, amid family conflict as Joseph's aunt deals with the fact that he and Mary are not even married.
He said he was doing it to encourage people to read stories "that are so utterly part of our culture.If you are looking for answers as to why the Anglican Church has fallen apart and is on its last legs, look no further than to the good Reverend Harrison.
"They should know them - not as a matter of religion but as a matter of cultural education," he said.
"I wanted to write a book that tells the most important Bible stories in a way that relishes them rather than tries to make any particular religious point.
"After all, who knows what the point is?
"What is more important to me is that people are getting to know the stories.
"There are lots of people who won't pick up the Bible and look for a story, most won't even own one.
The Reverend claims that most people don't own a bible and basically don't know about any of the stories contained in it. This has less to do with what's in the Bible and more to do with lunkers like the Reverend who aren't preaching the Gospel, but are preaching touchy feely crap.
Make no mistake about it, the Bible can stand on its own. It sure doesn't need any help from humanist filth peddlers like this creature.
