(sorry for the christian post. who wants to read that crap anyways?)
Here we go:
Eat your bible.
yup.
Gorge yourself on it.
It’s steak.
Its’ king crab.
It’s easy Mac.
Consume the Bible like your an angry furnace from a disney movie with red-hot flames bursting out of your robotic maw.
It’s a massive BLT
It’s a hamburger, juicy sweet.
It’s fruit loops.
Tear the meat from it’s duminutive frame like a school of piranhas eviscerating a cow.
It’s warm brownies with vanilla ice cream.
It’s the biggest slurpy ever, on a hot day.
It’s a massive Sushi platter.
But really it is most like a roast turkey
You ever carved a Turkey? You ever watch someone carve a Turkey? no doubt you had some turkey in the last couple days; it probably was great.
I had to carve the Turkey this year; my grandfather was out of commission, no relatives had arrived yet who were skilled in the art of carving so it fell upon me to carve the Christmas turkey. One thing you realize right away is that on that pan that comes steaming out the oven your only going to eat about 1/2 of what is on that plate. As you carve you throw away what seems an exorbant amount of refuse. Which is good, because no one wants to eat the bones, hardened cartilage, sinew, chunkcs of fat, joints, spine vertebrae etc. that is in that Turkey. We only want to the yummy, yummy meat. white or dark. take your pick.
Hence; Carving
But that is too often our approach to the Bible: just keep the juicy, tasteful bits that we can suckle on, and throw everything else into the trash. Some of that other stuff, man that is just too challenging and tough, and hard, and not very tasty at all. Why not just stick with what we know and like and that makes us feel good: the loving, caring, personal aspects? Why can’t we just keep eating the easily digestible parts? I have a sensitive stomach! I might throw up!
But the Bible is like a turkey, and you gotta eat that whole thing.
That stuff you don’t agree with, those parts that make NO SENSE at all, the things you have to spend hours studying to understand: eat it anyways.
Tear.
It.
Apart.
Rip open the carcass of that bird with your bare hands. Snap those glistening bones in half with your jaws, suck the spongy marrow from them. Tear the cartilige from the joints; chew it around like gum in your mouth. don’t get distracted now, Slurp down those slimy chunks of fat though it might cause you to gag a little, you need this. your starving. Eat the heart. Let it stain your teeth red. Leave nothing. Break the neck, mince the vertebrae to splinters. Wolf down the skin. veins, coagulated blood. It dissolves like dust. Eat it all like your a werewolf. Tilt the pan up to the ceiling. Swallow the juices it has been simmering in, the light brown liquids running down your cheeks and staining your shirt.
Your Done. It’s filling.
you demon you.
