review 1: Everyone who believes in an Abrahamic religion should read this book. I would subdivide ‘everyone’ into two categories:1. Those who have read and studied the entire Bible/Torah etc. I’ll call these ‘The Students’.2. Those who know just bits of the Bible/Torah etc. I’ll call these ‘The Dabblers’.Starting with ‘The Students’. Nothing in ‘Drunk with Blood’ is new to them. They believe their god inspired, and actively took part in, the murders of hundreds of thousands/millions of Jews and Gentiles throughout the biblical time period. They know, for example, that 42 little children were torn about by two bears for teasing a prophet (Elisha) about his bald head.Why should ‘The Students’ read this book when they’re already aware of the genocidal natu... morere of their god? Because ‘Drunk with Blood’ puts their god’s atrocities under a new spotlight. If they still love their god after consuming a fresh catalogue of his vicious murders and enslavements – then they are welcome to him.‘The Dabblers’ are the much larger group. You could legitimately call them a global throng or multitude. I was a ‘Dabbler’ in my younger years. I was preached a highly edited version of ‘The Bible’ and its characters during my school years. I was told that Samson was very strong – and that he used god’s power to punish some wicked people.I wasn’t told Samson was wicked. And most probably unhinged.I wasn’t told that Samson caught 300 foxes; tied them into pairs by the tail; tied firebrands to each vulpine brace; then released his pyromaniac fox-pairs into the crop fields of an enemy to get revenge. The preachers either didn’t know that detail (were ‘Dabblers') or kept it from their congregations because it makes Samson sound like a psychopath. (If I knew anyone who caught 300 foxes then set them on fire and released them into crop fields – I’d inform the police. And they’d be arrested pretty quickly.)There’s lots more detail about the murderous and cruel behavior of god and his cronies in 'Drunk with Blood'. If you’re a ‘Dabbler’ and you don’t know this stuff – buy this book. If you still love your god after reading it…you're welcome to him.
review 2: Hopefully this gets adapted as the next big-screen Biblical Hollywood epic if Noah does well enough. While it would make for a terrific animated feature, I fear it might run into trouble with the MPAA, particularly the parts where God forces parents to cannibalize their children (when he's not forcing them to just flat out kill them, rather than kill them and then eat them, too), or the instances in which he cajoles a band of terrorists into raiding towns for some good old fashion slaughter and forcing holy circumcisions on infidel children. Now that we know how many God has killed, my next question is what is the final number of clothes rent and people falling on their faces? less
