Also I wish you to have a complete and thorough understanding of what the 2nd Covenant is and how it applies to you.

As a work of fiction it's boring, inconsistent, and suffers from the worst infraction of all fictional writing, the Deus Ex Machina.

I recommend The Lord of the Rings, or even the more contemporary Game of Thrones.

GoT in particular tends towards realism in terms of motivation and consequence, whereas the bible leans more towards the nonsensical.

it's boring

Floods?
Fire everywhere?
Rape?
Hookers?
Taking a load of God sperm?
More action than a Jean-Claude Van Damme straight-to-video release?
Cheek turning?

Anything but boring, you freaking Siskel wannabe.

This new Jesus delusion is almost making me miss the good old days, when you were just a conspiracy loon. Almost.

The material itself had the potential to make an awesome work of uber-thiteenthirtyseven.  It was the execution that killed it, literally and figuratively.

For example, let's talk about the pages and pages of 'Begats'.  No less than 139 Begats, written in as dry and unsexy a fashion as literarily possible.  That could have been tidied up into one page of good, solid, graphic sex; involving 'firm breasts', erect penisis, and... shit, slender necks and broad shoulders for the chicks.  They like to read about broad shoulders and slender necks, the chicks. No-one cares about Begats, though.  Just sloppy writing is what it is.

Also, the Zombie scene.. Jesus Christ.  Perfectly set up for a Zombie Apocalypse, but what do we get? 

Bugger all.

All we get is some preachy shit about how flesh and blood can't enter heaven, and something about fruit or whatever. 

Sure, near the end the author(s) realise just how godawful fucking tedious the whole book is, and then they crowbar a whole bunch of mad shit in the last chapter, but it just looks out of place and forced.  Almost the exact opposite of the ending in the Sopranos.

Coincidence?

[Eddie Coyle]

Coincidence?

   As I learned from that wig wearing hump.."There are no coincidences!!!"

[Bart Ell]

For example, let's talk about the pages and pages of 'Begats'. 

Give me pages of begats over that slow moving Star Wars opening crawl.
Crawl, indeed.
Pure torture for a speed reader like moi.

Hehe, maybe he wears a wig and mustache because he is secretly UFO Phil. And Major Applewhite.
