chapter 28

"Give me my food on time."

The Lord made his food laws.

Every day a lamb, with wine and fried in oil bread, I've seen the bread made that way. In a pan over a fire. Very good, especially Sarah's.

Morning and evening. On the sabbath, twice as much.

On new moons, this is likely a tradition much older than the Israelites. Prehistoric man would have wondered about the sun, the moon and maybe Jupiter. 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 a once great nation.

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.

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

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 fryed 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.

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 she's forgiven. But if he doesn't annul then when he finds out, he's guilty. If he trys on another day."

"That's a good one Lord."

And so those, or that's how it is with a woman and her sex. She is first owned by her father then her husband. And that is how it must stay as we rape, plunder and kill.

'Cause we are the fuckin' men's club.
We want the world dead.
It's our belief that life is a bore.
Chop a sword through your head.
