A local family admitted they haven’t read a single word of the Bible that has been with their family for five generations as a treasured heirloom.

    So the onion isn’t satire anymore, they’re just telling it like it is.

    Reality is so horrible that we can only laugh or go insane.

      I don’t know; the Bible has some pretty gross stuff in it. Maybe not reading it is a good thing.

        Found a pot leaf someone pressed in the family bible we inherited when Ms. Bunnys mom died.

        That was a good laugh

      The best satire holds a mirror up to reality and looks at you expectantly.

      Horrible reality?

      Do you have any idea how many heirlooms get passed down but never actually used?

      I don’t really think not reading a book that’s passed down is a horrible reality

        people that claim to be adherents of a religion should read their religion’s holy texts.
