Works every time.

it's probably the best bible-as-lit

I had to do an entire course on the Platonic interpretation of this shit.

Are you still a Christian? Were you ever?

I used the think the bible was pretty awful until I got to the old testament. My dad gave me a new testament in some stupid burger translation when I was 14 and that wasn't a very good introduction desu.

>mfw my dad calls me "arrogant" for not at least being an agnostic and he's "spiritual but not religious"

"So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

I didn't mean to imply Song of Solomon was awful, just reading with my dad. As far as religious views I really don't know what I believe at the moment but Christianity will probably always be an important aspect of my life.
