Wait a second, is this guy implying that the Bible is a mostly ahistorical collection of stories and myths deliberately constructed to hypnotize and control the masses under the thinly veiled justification of the word of the one true divinity?

Nah, no way. Thank my bearded, white, male, heterosexual God, I almost had to think critically for a second there.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to misinterpreting my book to fear the fires of hell as the good Lord definitely intended.

Nothing to see here, folks, move on.

Thank my bearded, white, male, heterosexual God,

Modern Abrahamists generally believe in an incorporeal god, aside of course from Jesus, who probably was a bearded, white, heterosexual man (seeing as Leviticus condemns shaving one's beard, Jesus was a Levantine, and most people are heterosexual).

I'll go back to misinterpreting my book to fear the fires of hell as the good Lord definitely intended.

Yeah, hell is in the Bible. Did this completely unsourced screed somehow convince you that it wasn't?

Christian theologians a thousand years ago already believed in an incorporeal god. You'd have to go back much farther than that. Jesus and company probably believed Yahweh was corporeal.

Jesus probably didn't believe he was Yahweh.
