In case anyone is wondering what the book is!

[–] TheTetrapod 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, I see, good idea for a book!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Pretty sure the author started out on Reddit.

It’s one of the weird cognitive dissonances that I grew up with from the Christian church as a kid. They would say these things so casually, but then refuse to talk about sex or bodies. It’s just… bizarre. And took some unpacking and unlearning to get to a healthy place about bodies.

Why is body related violence so casually referred to, even in children’s books, but then they try to breeze past the weird sex stories in there at the same time.

It was just… weird. It’s still weird. I can’t help but shake my head and thank my lucky stars I got out of there when I did, right at the beginning of adulthood.

Same reason that jokes about prison rape is acceptable to virtually everyone: it's happening to someone who "deserves" it.

Pretty fucked up.

I always thought it was weird that they temporarily cut the skin off of their forehead until I was nineteen and wondered why I had a line on my genitals where the color suddenly changed. Turns out I had been circumcized as an infant.

Sorta like how everybody in America is totally fine showing kids movies where the characters violently fight and die, but God forbid they see a bare breast (like they fed on as babies).

[–] PainInTheAES 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I wonder if this book has the one about the dad who gets drunk with his two daughters and fucks them

[–] moistclump 86 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The two daughters who PURPOSEFULLY get their dad drunk and then have sex with him so that they get pregnant. If I recall correctly. Which I hope I do not.

[–] captainlezbian 63 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yeah the daughters are the rapists in that story. Unlike the other one where the father hands over his daughters to be raped

Okay I’m familiar with the story already, but I have several questions about the images here

Also, he realized what was happening and pulled out, spilling his seed on the ground and so God punished him for not inseminating his daughters

[–] testfactor 22 points 1 year ago

That's a different dude. Onan.

Lot didn't pull out and the daughters got pregnant.

You know, I always have been suspicious of that history, I mean he was so "drunk" that he didn't know what happened?, but have you ever tried having sex drunk? Shit is impossible!, why do you think the term whiskey dick exist?

So I'm suspicious of this Lot "I want to fuck my daughters and I will use the most flimsy excuse in this bronze era shithole" of Haram

David is on that foreskillionaire grindset

[–] TokenBoomer 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If you grind foreskins, they become worthless. You have to polish them, by hand.

[–] InternetCitizen2 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Worth the effort. I have a beautiful foreskin wallet.

Just don't polish each one more than 3 times, or else you're playing with them.

Gotta love corpse genital mutilation to be awarded a human being

I can accept children being taught about collecting foreskins, but I will not abide poor grammar!

This seems like the kind of book to finally have an appropriate number of animal and human corpses bobbing around in the water around Noah’s ark. Such a great story to decorate baby’s bedroom with!

Why did he need to kill them to get their foreskins?

[–] dangblingus 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

would you have given yours up freely?

In a sense, he didn't! In fact the context of the story is that they couldn't be converted (which is why they still had foreskins), and had he successfully converted them, they would have given up their foreskins as part of the process. But since they refused to convert, he "converted" them anyway. Either way, a W for daddy king over there, and also a partial genocide for David. The guy really fell off after the thing with the giant.

Awarded the princess, that is some very disconcerting and objectifying wording

[–] 13esq 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Women used to be considered chattel.

Are you suggesting we rewrite the bible? Surely god would be PC if he wanted to be.

foreskinshadowing

[–] AnalogyAddict 13 points 1 year ago

Does it have the one where the guy chopped up his dead concubine and sent pieces to the tribes of Israel, who then wipe out the tribe of Benjamin and made men marry the women so the tribe wouldn't be gone?

[–] MrJameGumb 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For going above and beyond in his foreskin collection duties, King Saul rewarded David not only with his daughters hand in marriage, but also with no less than 500 chopped up hot dog weiners! David was so overcome with gratitude that he tripped and spilled them all over the floor, and everyone in the throne room awkwardly pretended not to notice as he scooped them up off the dirty ground... for to waste the Kings Weiners was considered an insult punishable by death

[–] dangblingus 11 points 1 year ago

The context being that Saul thought David would be killed by the Philistines, because he didn't want David to marry any of his daughters and thought David was poor.

[–] thorbot 10 points 1 year ago

Ah yes the ol' Penis Chopping King, everyone loved him
