Thoughts on Leviticus

The most wonderful aspect of Leviticus is that it was easier to read than Exodus. It was mercifully shorter too. That's about all I have for you in the way of positives. Sad.

Leviticus spends a lot of time on rituals and animal sacrifice. We also learned that people are very bad, often unclean and perpetual sinners.

Back in the days of Adam and Eve, humans were vegetarians. During the time of Noah and the flood, we became meat eaters. By Leviticus, God is blood thirsty and pretty much loves dead animals. Hundreds if not thousands of animals are slaughtered in Leviticus. What the hell would God need with a dead animal anyway?

Moses is thought to be the author of this book. What a nice coincidence that the priests get to eat the meat of a burnt offering. The priests of course are Moses' kin.

This book is stupid. The end.
