Comparing our readings between Genesis and Exodus I can see clearly that they are getting each time deeper and deeper into details. Genesis is very head on they don’t describe their action, they just throw them at you in Exodus they throw their actions as well as describing then which at a point gets repetitive. "And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it." Exodus 25 verse 14 to 15 in verse fourteen we get it they don’t have to repeat it in fifteen and I think that’s one of the reasons I understood better Genesis than Exodus even thou I knew Moses story, not this way there’s more to it.
My family is catholic, I was raised being one, but not one time have I read the bible, well apart from religion class that we use to play games, even though this isn’t what I want to get that. I have never been comfortable in my religion, I believe more in spiritualism, and I believe I have to search even deeper. At the same time I am reading the bible for English class I am reading it for myself, for my religions point of view. And all the story’s well chapter’s I don’t know how to call them, I have read so far, I have seen in movie’s in book’s but I am having a different emotion, view, over my religion.
The way the movie’s the books portray them is just wrong they should show the truth about our religion, most of the times they end the story like fairy tales and well the bible isn't quite a fairy tale maybe a brothers Grimm fairy tale yes but not one of Disney's fairy tale because it doesn’t have a "and they lived happily ever after. The End.” Maybe it gives faith about our world, for children to be happy. But I don't know what's worse to never find out the truth about our world and live in a bubble or to find about it when you’re older and the whole world is crushing you.
