Well, this is the book from childhood that made me into an atheist! =) Worst book I have ever read, hands down. The "good parts" may be somewhat pretty, but the bad ones are truly horrific. Read this if you want a horrible moral system that traumatizes countless people and makes the world a worse place. There is absolutely no nuance for me personally regarding this book. A true horror story (ex: the book of Revelation). Truly triggering and depressing. I am so thankful to say I'll never have to read it again.
