chapter 28

vs. 1: Be punctilious in presenting to Me at stated times the offerings of food due Me, EQ

“Give me my food on time. If you want to keep your holy priest jobs.”

The Lord made his food laws. In fact, the people of the book are all about food laws. So many bloody food laws that genocide, a most holy event, is second to food laws.

Every day a lamb, with wine and fried in oil bread, I, your ever-humble narrator, have seen bread made in this fashion. In a pan, fried over a fire. Very yummy, especially Sarah’s. Not the Sarah from the bible but a native of the land. If you are fresh out of lambs, refried beans with a can of sardines is also delicious.

Morning and evening. On the Sabbath, the priests are to prepare twice as much.

On new moons: this is a tradition much older than the Israelites. Other prehistoric men wondered about the sun, the moon and planets. They set up great monuments to observe rituals and honor ancestors of the ruling class. Interesting rituals can be found in many lands. Many having striking similarities. Some might propose to help remember things once known. Knowing that man was embarking on several thousand years of dark ages. Some would say they were simply myopic. Others simply watch television and go shopping and don’t venture to have a thought to where we are from and to where we might be going.

One very significant similarity in cults and religions of the metal age was the making of class structure and the demotion of women.

Alas, let us return to the random rules of the Lord Moses with his ruling class of priestly Levites. They were to prepare for the fire rituals 2 bulls, 1 ram, 7 lambs. And the baked over a fire fried bread. And roast a goat for sin.

On month one, day fourteen, everyone’s favorite sacred day. The day to remember the murdering of every oldest son of another superstitious nation of slaves and impoverished by the Israelite financial take over, peasants, also slaves.

The day after, a big party. Unleavened bread 7 days. Don’t work first day. 2 bulls, 1 ram, 7 lambs. And remember. Always without blemish, my food. And bread. Every day. And on the 7th day, don’t work. Unless, of course, you are preparing food for Me.

For the day of the first fruit. Also sacred. A day off. Bring new grain. 2 bulls, 1 ram, 7 lambs and the usual fixings. And a goat to pay for sinning.

These are very important laws so make a tax-free empire to preserve the book of rules. Call the book, The Holy Scriptures.

The book, though maybe not so much the religion, does have something to teach us. Some of which is: do not hold to religion for it will make you into an ignorant slave of murdering tyrants and lessen your chance of ever being free.


chapter 29

On the first day of month seven. Also sacred. Don’t work. Get out your horns and your harps and party. And prepare for me 1 bull, 1 ram, 7 lambs and fried bread.

And a goat.

The Lord likes the smell of fat burning on the fire.

On the tenth day of that month, don’t think about or touch yourself or anyone else on penis, vagina or bum. And don’t work. 1 bull, 1 ram, 7 lambs, bread.

And a goat.

And on day one 13 bulls, 2 rams, 14 lambs. 1 goat.

2nd Day: 12 bulls, 2 rams, 14 lambs, with bread and wine.

And a goat.

On the next days, till the seventh, the bulls go down one a day. So in the end only 7 bulls and on the eight, back to one. Rams stay at two. Lambs 14.

And always. A goat.

And if anyone wants to give the Lord other things whenever, go for it.

Votive and freewill, burnt, meal, libations, well being.

Do it.

And for heaven’s sake, never ever stop to wonder what the hell you are doing for you may find that your life of comfortable servitude is slavery. That you are a mockery to the rest of life. That you need to wake up and become what you can be.

And it shall come to pass that we become the space monkeys, protecting the earth and all its life and terra forming other planets and building great movable worlds we will call star ships.


chapter 30

Moses told the heads of the tribes what the Lord had for another law.

“If someone vows something to me, he gotta do it. If a woman makes a vow and her father finds out and don’t like it, for example a vow not to have sex with family members, then he can disallow the vow. And she will be forgiven. If she marries and her husband is her brother, he can say screw the no screw vow. And if a widow or divorced woman makes a vow, she gotta do it. And if she’s married and her husband don’t care about the vow, she gotta do it. But if he changes his mind. She has to stop doing what she stopped doing and start doing whatever she wanted to not do for whatever time she had chosen. Self denial can be annulled by the husband and the woman is forgiven. But if he doesn’t annul then when he finds out, he’s guilty. If he tries on another day.”

“That’s a good one Lord.”

“Thanks. Wash my feet.”

And so that’s how it is with a woman and her vows. Most important thing to note is that she is owned always and can shut the fuck up. She is first owned by her father, then she is owned by her husband. And that is how it must stay as we rape, plunder and kill. Bitch.

‘Cause we are the fuckin’ Men’s Club.
We want the wild world dead.
You think you want to protect life.
We swing a sword through your head.

Vs. 17: those are the laws that the Lord enjoined upon Moses between a man and his wife, and as between a father and his daughter while in her father’s household by reason of her youth. EQ

And it came to pass that all the women and children said: “Fuck you.”

And on the Sabbath they did not go to the holy Men’s Club of brutal lies. No. Instead, they proclaimed that the Men’s Club, in all its forms, was at an end. That a new age had not only dawned, the morning light could be seen.

And they went into the woods to gather berries and herbs and seeds. And it came to pass that the new law was made and the forests were no longer cut down to be sold for lies. That new trees were planted in the cities. And gardens on the roof tops and solar energy in the great African desert.

And it came to pass that the first was last and left behind. And the first asteroid was mined.
