Genesis, illustrated

i've read the Bible. can't say i've gained too much from it. it's a good read. piece of history 'n such, but it's always left me empty. maybe because i was raised Catholic and had to deal with all the horse-shit associated with the Church.

hypocrites;

evil fairy's in white robes - telling me to act like a "man," as they count their cash;

sexually repressed staff, explaining sexuality;

Catholic schoolgirls' snorting meth in the bathroom - singing "ave maria," in the choir...

blessed football coaches 'knowing' their students, sometimes their daughters.

not that i haven't come across some truly stand up individuals, but they're few and far between.

and they know. but what are they gonna do?

but i recently came across R. Crumb's illustrated version of Genesis...

and truth be told, i'm starting to come around.

too bad the Church is lost in the sauce.

- they coulda been somebody...
