Scripture of all sort has become an unhealthy fixation for me. Therefore I hereby swear that I am going to avoid reading or examining any form of scripture for one week.

Next Friday, if it seems good or necessary, I will extend this abstainence even longer.

In the meantime, I'm going to take Bucky Fuller's advice and dare to be naive.

You could always go for Discordian Scripture...

THE FIVE COMMANDMENTS (THE PENTABARF)
The PENTABARF was discovered by the hermit Apostle Zarathud in the Fifth Year of The Caterpillar. He found them carved in gilded stone, while building a sun deck for his cave, but their import was lost for they were written in a mysterious cypher. However, after 10 weeks & 11 hours of intensive scrutiny he discerned that the message could be read by standing on his head and viewing it upside down.

KNOW YE THIS O MAN OF FAITH!
I - There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm.

II - A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.

III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).

IV - A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.

V - A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.

IT IS SO WRITTEN! SO BE IT. HAIL DISCORDIA! PROSECUTORS WILL BE TRANSGRESSICUTED.

The problem isn't believing scripture. Or, rather, to be more clear, not believing scripture isn't a problem for me. Wait, let me try again. I do just fine at not believing scripture. I can do that with one hand tied behind my back.

The problem is reading it, fixating on it, examining it. I desperately need to take a break from that.

"The problem is reading it, fixating on it, examining it."

I could be wrong here as I am definitely not an expert in this field, but isn't that terribly un-gnostic behavior?
