When I was in elementary school I actually tried to just read the bible. I didn’t get very far through Genesis before I gave up.

You didn’t even make it to the part where a man of god uses nature magic to summon bears to kill 42 children, or where a guy is mad that a father gives him the wrong daughter as property that he combines genocide with animal abuse!

That first bit is part of the Apocrypha. It’s not in the official bible.

For me, nothing tops the guy whose neighbors want to rape the angel that came to visit him, so he offers the crowd his daughters to rape instead.
