This is a big reason why I think people who want to abolish religion all together miss the point. The issue is not that the text is so dark and vile it breaks brains… When taken in its proper historical context and read properly, it’s actually quite based.
The issue is that humans are stupid, violent, tribal beasts who will take any symbol and use it to bang their drum. If religion didn’t exist the world would be just as shitty, only now humans would be worshipping The Beatles and claiming Beatles music was all about keeping the black man down and praying away the gay.
