On another site, on another subject, a commenter named 'woozy' humorously explained the depth of understanding achieved by Christians who read the bible in this fashion:
I mean for thousands of years you have this holy book. Okay, it’s a little dense and the language is archaic and there’s some creepy bloody stuff in the middle. But for the most part it’s your holy book. Even if you don’t really know what this story about this poor guy covered in boils is about, you have some sense that it’s got to be about something. You’re sure it’s pretty deep ’cause otherwise what was the point of wasting all those sunny Sundays in dreary Sunday School? So this Book of Job is about something… “God is good” or “behave yourself” or something. It’s holy at any rate and it’s your holy book. So anyone wanting to make fun if it can fuck off, all right. Your holy book; fuck off.
