    Wait, wait, wait.

    Talk all the shit you want about how people twist the meanings of the book/religion, there are some very good stories in the Bible.

      but the stories! The poetry!

      They’re not that good, though. Some of them sorta stand up as mediocre. Compare them to an anthology by, like, le’guinn, known more as a novelist who could maintain consistent characters plot themes and tone for the length of a fucking novel. You know who fucking wins.
