So, anyway. The bible.
Over and over again, GOA says, "I am a jealous god, you shall have no others" We read this over and over and over again. He also has a propensity to destroy things by fire, flood and pestulance, but curiously, after the flood, he was all, "Whoops, I'm never going to do that again!" (Gen. 9:11)
These things that you are not to EVER, EVER do according to the bible:
- Deuteronomy 22:5 Ladies, NO MANLY CLOTHES. THAT MEANS get rid of those boy-shorts and pants!
- Leviticus 19:16 Gossip. (this would be the hardest of all of these for me to follow. )
- Leviticus 19:19 Wear clothing made of two kinds of material.
- Leviticus 19:23 Avoid eating anything you planted the first four years after you’ve moved (the third year, you're supposed to harvest it and then set it out as an offering to GOA.
- Leviticus 19:26 Eat meat “rare”
- Leviticus 19:27 Cut your hair (and men, NO SHAVING)
- Leviticus 20:18 Make whoopee during your period (or be with a woman during her period).
- Leviticus 20:22 Eat or participate in Native American traditions, including their art or medicine.
- Leviticus 11:29, 20:25-26 Eat/take any of the following forbidden foods: pork products, frog’s legs, turtle soup, rattlesnake, shrimp, crayfish, mussles, shrimp, scallops, calamari, crab, escargot, clams, oysters, lobster, Glucosamine, Oyster-shell calcium.
- Leviticus 27:32, Numbers 18:26, Deuteronomy 14:22: Give a tenth of your income over to God.
- Leviticus 21:6 No cripples or ugly people leading in church sacraments and services. (Pretty, whole people only.)
Anyway. Based on all past history, I offer a provisional diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, with narcissistic tendencies.
Borderline personality disorder: Usually involves unusual levels of instability in mood, "black and white" thinking, chaotic and unstable relationships with otehrs, unstable self-image and identify, unpredictable and chaotic behavior.
Narcisism: this involves a person who feels in all areas of life that he is better than others in every way. The narcissist has a constant need for admiration, and lack of empathy, and a constant preoccupation with personal adequacy, power, and prestige, and is often referred to as, "the god complex".
Recommended treatment plan:
1) Referral to psychiatrist for a mood stabilizer and/or anti-depressant
2) Group therapy with emphasis on social skills training
3) Cognitive-behaviorally-based individual therapy focusing on confronting inconsistencies in thought and behavior, "thought-stopping" techniques to control destructive impulses, and relaxation techniques.
Of course, it will never work. GOA doesn't have a job that pays, doesn't qualify for medicaid (too much in assets) and his followers don't believe in universal health converage. He'll most likely wind up homeless or living alone in a squallid apartment, bitching and moaning about how he's surrounded by assholes.
Yeah, I know.
I'm going to hell.
