Dragons in Genesis

12/14/15 • 25 min

38. I stopped counting at 38. That's how many gods I found in the bible but there may be more. And if that's not bad enough apparently Yahweh has a dad named El who gave him the land of Israel and he even has a wife. A wife! But at least he named his own messiah. It's some Persian guy.

He sleeps with his sister, rapes slaves, hears voices, tries to murder children, and has lunch with deities. He's not some cliche villain, but the founder of Judaism.
Oh, and his story is a complete fabrication.
