Kill yes, all of them, and then rape and enslave their women. I've actually read the bible, all of it. Some really seriously nasty and weird stuff in there.

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.

2 Kings 2:23

Wow. Little gem of a story like that should be tip off that most cults are started by complete psychopaths with violent delusions of revenge and power.

As a baldy, this has always been one of my favorite bible stories.

I quoted this to my friend who is a Doctor of Divinity who learned ancient Greek so as to better understand his bible.

He had literally never heard of it.

I found that bizarre.

I don't miss my hair at all.

I miss it in the context of being able to do more interesting things with my hair. There's just a lot of hairstyles that don't work when there's barely anything on the entire crown of your head. But on the other hand, it gives me an excuse to wear a lot of hats. And I do like a good hat.

I miss the feelers. I have so many dings it's ridiculous. I am never not bleeding somewhere up there.
