INTRODUCTION:
In this version, the bible reveals itself to be the misogynistic rantings of a priest class who in lieu of their absentee patriarch set arbitrary and violent rules for their people to follow, with the warning that if they don’t, there will be consequences. A sort of ‘wait till your father gets home’ approach to organising society. The difficulties the people have in following these rules are periodically forgiven and the rules updated to be more in keeping with the times.
