A Criticism of the First Sentence of the Gospel of Mark

This is a teaser for a complete, verse-by-verse analysis of the Gospel of Mark that I hope will serve as a reference manual to expose once and for all the absurdity and non-necessity of treating a book like a dead end for the consideration of other people's life choices and the general progress of society towards the good rather than the stagnation of the falsidical. I chose to start with Mark because, as the oldest gospel in the Christian canon, its first sentence is the very first statement by Christianity; it is the pedestal upon which the rest of the corpus rests.

Fortunately, all one needs is an understanding of ancient Greek, a tolerable ability to deal with Hebrew and a comprehensive knowledge of the Old and New Testaments to discover how ridiculous, misquoted, and amoral the entirety of the gospels are.

I will be publishing the first third of my criticism of Mark tomorrow. In the following few days I will post the rest, and then move onto a sarcastic and humorous parody of Matthew. After all, if one understands the fallacies in the text from which Matthew drew, one simply need apply one's sense of humor to finish the job. 

Some of you may appreciate this, and some of you may hate me for it. In response to all the Christians who are angered then follow your convictions and act according to your book:

Forgive me. Sorry, that's kind of your thing. I didn't make the rules for you.

Finally, why am I doing this? Because it's high time we stopped acting as though shoving a pacifier of glazed faith into our mouths and happily gumming our way through the complications and evolution of social love and understanding is a good thing. We have to think for ourselves, and realize that truth is something we discover, not accept because when we were kids we were told there's a book that relieves us of having to grow up as adult members of a constantly improving condition in which we all live known as humanity. 

Lastly, I am fully present and willing to engage with anyone who would like to question my analysis. At your own risk.

Enjoy.  I'm just getting warmed up here...
