NUance Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I've been working my way through the good book for the past couple months. I'm a few pages away from Psalms right now. Well, how is it?!! For violence, the Old Testament makes Medal of Honor video game look like a Disney movie. Much like the Middle East today, in fact. Quote Link to comment

The violence is abundant in the good book, for sure.... Yeah. I guess the violence stands out because I didn't remember how much killing the Jews did back in the Old Testament days. Life was pretty brutal back then. I guess it goes without saying that there's a lot more in the bible than violence. I'm looking forward to reading the prophets following psalms/proverbs and then getting into the new testament. Quote Link to comment

Seems a little hypocritical of them, but as you said, there is much more to the bible than that (Revelation is terrifying!) Quote Link to comment

B.B. Hemingway Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just ordered this (the book, not the guy).... Really looking forward too it. Anyone happened to have already read it? Quote Link to comment
RunMickeyRun02 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It sucks, and I was about to quit reading it, but then the little S**ts in the book met up with a dragon, now I think I'll stick it out. However I've only been reading a few pages at a time because it hasn't been interesting enough to read while I'm not pooping. And Pooping hasn't been taking very long lately. Quote Link to comment
Lux Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I have been slowly working my way through this book. Unfortunately my only time to read is on break at work. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 "Hero of the Underground: A Memoir", by Jason Peter. This is a book that's hard to put down once you start reading it. Dude led a fast life for a while. It's amazing he's still alive. btw, I've also been working my way through bible these past few months. It's sort of a weird combination reading scripture in parallel with Jason Peter's wild, drug fueled memoirs. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Are you reading the Bible in the order it's laid out, or historical order? I didn't realize, for whatever reason, that the Bible isn't laid out in chronological order until doing a cover-to-cover Bible study a few years ago. Quote Link to comment
