My great great aunt forced me to read the Bible. I am now a half feral Neo-Pagan, hail Odin fuck that trash, Jesus is kinda chill and Sampson gets overlooked too frequently.

Yeah Jesus was chill. The issue is the other half of the bible and also that people who force others to read it usually don't even follow what Jesus taught so whatever.

Yep, honestly I'm kinda surprised that there doesn't seem to be any major Christian sects who said fuck it and either cut out or simplified the old testament kinda like what Islam did or at least better separate it all out.

Yeah, there are many variations but it's taboo enough that the closest to a major sect I can think of is that Catholics have additional books.

But fun fact, one of the founding fathers (I think Ben Franklen) made a very short version that took out all the history or magic and just left being the laws and rules to follow

You're thinking of Thomas Jefferson
