A Heathen Reads the Bible: Slavery Gets Oh-So-Marginally Better
http://aheathenreadsthebible.blogspot.com/2010/11/chapter-18-features-return-of-jethro.html
A Heathen Reads the Bible. Irreverent, but hopefully respectful. Sunday, November 21, 2010. Slavery Gets Oh-So-Marginally Better. Next, preparations for God's descension to Mount Sinai, where Moses will receive the Ten Commandments, thought to be the fundamental basis of our legal system by people who presumably are totally unfamiliar with either the ten commandments, our legal system, or both. As far as I can tell, the rules given in Chapters 20-24 happen before. Three days of cleansing and hullabaloo.

A Heathen Reads the Bible: July 2010
http://aheathenreadsthebible.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A Heathen Reads the Bible. Irreverent, but hopefully respectful. Saturday, July 31, 2010. No Bible stories here, just some blog business. First, I have been added to the Atheist Blogroll. It is a list of blogs run by atheists, agnostics and skeptics, though not necessarily religion-themed, so somewhat diverse. And it is now scrolling along on the right! It is the latest step in my plan to become Famous on the Internet, and probably the last one on account of I'm very lazy. Posted by A Heathen with a Bible.

Updates may be less frequent for a while, because I left my Kindle at my boyfriend's place so I have to read Exodus online, unless someone in Chicago wants to lend me a bible, and I tend to read slowly online. But I did manage to knock back the first few chapters! Still, let's enjoy the awesome plot for as long as it lasts! In the Bible version, baby Moses is not surrender...

A Heathen Reads the Bible: Exodus: Chapters 10-16
http://aheathenreadsthebible.blogspot.com/2010/10/exodus-chapters-10-16.html
A Heathen Reads the Bible. Irreverent, but hopefully respectful. Sunday, October 24, 2010. Number of times Pharaoh hardens his heart: 3. Number of times God hardens Pharaoh's heart: 8. I guess once upon a time free will was not the philosophical and moral sticky widget it is nowadays? By modern standards, this part of Exodus is super sketchy! Also it is super formulaic, it is just plague, repentant Pharaoh, end of plague, hardened hearted Pharaoh, repeat. Have you ever dropped food on the beach? Exodus 1...

A Heathen Reads the Bible: Circumcision as a Weapon of Mass Destruction
http://aheathenreadsthebible.blogspot.com/2010/08/circumcision-as-weapon-of-mass.html
A Heathen Reads the Bible. Irreverent, but hopefully respectful. Sunday, August 1, 2010. Circumcision as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Like all great love stories, this one begins with a rape. Exactly, but he does seem to have as good intentions as anyone in Genesis is capable of having. Oh, wait, the chapter's not over. Surely Jacob will now make some point about how there are right and wrong ways to respond to an undesirable situation, and genocide is NEVER the answer, and. Oh, wait, the chapter is over.

A Heathen Reads the Bible. Irreverent, but hopefully respectful. Thursday, March 10, 2011. The Worst Kind of Deja Vu. After Moses is done checking God out, God descends and describes himself a bit:. Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.(34:7).

A Heathen Reads the Bible. Irreverent, but hopefully respectful. Saturday, January 8, 2011. Shades of Dorian Gray. Merry Christmas, bloggees! Which will probably update more frequently by virtue of the fact that updating it requires nearly no effort whatsoever. On to the Bible! The other thing causing delays is, the next part of the Bible is basically God describing in great detail exactly. Here is a very brief sample of the kind of instruction Moses gets:. And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon th...
