Decided to read the bible all the way through since the last time I "did" it (much was skimmed or skipped and instead I watched doctor who from the library on my laptop, lol) was when I was like 14, I'm an intellectual and religions nerd, I am ostensibly Christian, and I'm trying to learn and grow in my spirituality beyond the typical but it's been so long since I read any of it that my recollection is almost all out of context and regurgitated, not an actual foundation for further thought and exploration.

Anyway I made it 9 chapters before having to stop, google some things, and find that yeah, I'm not stupid, everyone all over has been inconclusive on the meaning of this bit for over 2000 years 😅🫡😐

#And no despite my icon and being christopagan I am NOT catholic #Because that would make it too easy to find anyone on the same spiritual wavelength as me lmao #I have so many fucking questions about the implications and details of genesis. Why can't I know???#Maybe when I fiiiinally do shrooms and get god on speed dial he'll fill me in on how there were other societies on earth #When adam and co got kicked out of eden #Or why people used to regularly live to 900 and then we just tanked??#''Curse of ham'' he cursed canaan - and also that bit was probably included for political reasons #And the entire validity of the occurrence (let ALONE its actual meaning) is in question due to that 🫥#I don't think it's the most accurate take but the interpretation where ham had sex with his mom and canaan was the result #Hence the curse being on him #Is the most interesting version #I guess I'm liveblogging my bible reading lmao #My tag for this will be #in which I read a book with a really problematic fanbase
