>Characters mom constantly tells him to read the Bible

It's a casual way your parents are telling you to get your act together

KJV is literature. Read it. Then read a biography of King James himself. There was a lot of wild shit going on at the time and Christianity was way more based then than it is now.
>>217373878You should read The Holy Bible and if you have a problem with that then you should scald your genitals to show your devotion to His word.
Read the Quran instead brother.
>>217373878Wtf I loved Waterboy
>>217373878>son I know I mutilated your penis because Dr. Goldshekelstein insisted on a tip, aborted all your brothers and sister, cheated on and divorced your father and am currently reverse mortgaging the house you grew up in to go on monthly cruise ships but as long as you open your heart to Christ all is forgiven.
