I feel the same way reading the Bible. Even as early as Genesis I was like damn Abraham I don’t understand why you tried to pimp out your sister-wife ONCE but also why did you KEEP DOING IT? Somebody recently commented that they find the Bible boring and I was like you need to find a modern translation because if you can even vaguely understand what’s actually going on that shit is WILD. Turns out humans have always been crazy AF and personally I actually find that kinda comforting. Another great example is the whole Onan thing because somebody decided to make it about masturbation when if you really get down to it it’s a story about a dude who thinks he’s being slick by obeying the letter of the current law to screw his widowed sister in law out of her rightful property and THAT story is TIMELESS.
