Amazon user reviews of the Bible
As a book on sale at Amazon.com, the Holy Bible is subjected to the same user reviews as any other item sold on the online superstore.
User W. Abbot says:
“The first section (Old Testament) follows the creation of existence, introduction of human, animals, plants etc, and the punishment of humans by the lead protagonist (God). The God character seems to have been oddly portrayed; especially considering the vast amount of praise people seem to give him. He comes across as a egotistical psychopath, who’s obsessed with maintaining his own glory at the expense of the humans he ‘created’. Whilst this theme is interesting to start with (the destruction of the 7 tribes part particularly fun), it soon becomes dull. The second section follows a different theme, with its centre storyline follow a character named Jesus Christ. He seems to change much of the original message to something more moral, i.e. less genocide. However, just as he is getting interesting, the character is killed off, only to be ‘resurrected’ later.”
An anonymous reader adds:
“Some people called Christians who rather like this story say that God wrote it about his Son Jesus. But that is difficult to believe as there are clearly four versions of the story, all a bit different, written by four men called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. At times the story gets a bit repetitious, and one suspects that Matthew, Mark and Luke copied their stories from one earlier unnamed source. The version by John is a bit more mystical and fanciful and departs from the narrative of the other three authors a little too much for my liking.”
Christopher Wilkinson chimes in with:
“To be fair its a book of different stories which were elaborated over time. Bit like you mate Dave who got drunk last week on 5 pints but on Monday told his mates he drank so much he had to sign into the Betty Ford clinic. If you really want to have a load of stories in one place rent Sin City or Pulp Fiction”
And finally, user superestbean sums it up:
“This non stop rollicking look at humanity will ensure not a dry seat in the house. There are fires, floods, wars, tortures and mysteries. Something for everyone.”
Wonder if Oprah recommended it yet…

That is some great stuff.
Love this. And Mike, I’ll be in touch about ATHF. You’re about as cool as Carl playing the air guitar for the old prostitute (”It’s called ‘I Wanna Rock Your Body’. And in parentheses it says ‘Til The Break’a Dawn’.”)
And I mean that, truly, madly and deeply from the bottom of my ever-Meatwad-lovin’ heart.
