Book 3 – Leviticus and You Thought Your Mama Was Mean

The first time I saw the title of this book, I thought it was a proper name for a venereal disease. As in…

I caught herpes.
I caught Leviticus.

And then after I read it, I realized it was more of an adjective form describing a state of being, a condition of living. As in…

A state of venereal disease.
A state of Leviticus.

I’m going to make this book easy on you though. As with anyone who is familiar with cleaning out a pig trough or scraping doggy pooh from the carpet, I will make sure to cover your eyes and mouth as much as possible and flower your nose with Evergreen scent straight out of the can. It might smell like someone shit a Christmas tree when I’m done but at least you have something to hang your hat on at the end of the day.

Leviticus can best be described as a book of rules and regulations. Think of it as a very long rehab where the Israelites are given a strict regimen of what they can and cannot do in order to weed out the impurities in their soul and personality. Watch Celebrity Rehab for about 2 years if you’d like to get a small…a very very small idea of the kind of termites this here book seeks to destroy.

I think the best way to wade through this shit-storm of rules and regulations is to tell you a few things that are applicable to your life today. Things I bet you didn’t even know originated in this book. Deep, dark, dirty things….
