K, this is what I don't get........As far as I'm concerned, the bible is just sumone's diary that happened to get published for the "proof" of sumone's theory on how life is and should go.  It is only the opinion of a few that shows the mindset of the same type of people that still exist and believe that that way was right for them.\nNo matter how many generations go by, they are all the same.  There will always be people that believe one way or the other or even another way.\nOf course you r gonna dwell on the stuff that u either believe in or detest, either way, it is just another way to justify your way of living, right?

I agree. very nasty. the Bible says one woman to each man, and vise versa. this is paraphased, of course.

the Bible condemns a lot of things, including lusting, stealing, etc.I will never understand why my fellow "christians" pick homosexuality as the be all end all sin.

In order to do exactly all those things you mentioned: enslave humans, abuse women... bascially to be in control in a male-dominated society.  It's so easy to control people when you say, "this is what God wants!"  People are very submissive in the face of a diety.  You have to remember that the Bible was written in a totally different time and reflects the laws and mores of that culture.  It's not that there aren't some good lessons we can take from the Bible, but people shouldn't take everything so literally!

Oh yes the Bible is absolutely clear on this topic!  If you do that then God will turn you into a pillar of salt for His spice rack!  But don't worry if you want to be like Lot's daughters and seduce your own father, God will praise you for it!

Here's a direct quote from the Dr. Phil website.  Also below is a link from same for controlling jealousy.  "Pornography isn't real, it's a fantasy. It's makeup, beauty lenses, hair extensions, camera angles, lighting and silicone! It's also somebody's daughter who has taken a really, really wrong turn. She's demeaning herself, debasing herself, humiliating herself and she's being exploited by people who are funded by you. It is a sick, demented, twisted world. It's not healthy, it's not natural and it's not normal."  This is why you feel this way.

First let me appauld you for taking a stand. I myself am a father also and we don't celebrate Christmas in sense of what world does for the season. I personally don't do it because it has been so commericalize and this is an attack of the prince of this world. The devil has done anything and is willing to do anything to take Christ of Christmas. He has been successful with removing prayer in schools, removal of the ten commandments in the judicial system and etc. In turn he has replace it with same sex marriages, the flaunting of homosexuality on every media market available, lewd television shows and basically the I'm going to do me attitude of many people in this world. Don't be confused, this should be in no way shocking. People for years have been carrying on the legends of lies from, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy, santa claus and a host of other falsehoods. John chap 3:19 (paraphase)says man loves darkness rather than light because his heart is evil. The Christmas of this day for the most part does not glorify God in any sense. It's a numbers game that is all about money. The more we sell the fatter our wallets. It has created a bigger air of greed in the world today. Just look at all the choas over video games, elmos and etc. People are getting hurt over this foolish. This breeds violence, hate,envy, jealousy and so on. God can surely not be please. Please don't expect the world to understand or make the difference. This is the job of us so-called christians. The salt of thee earth as the bible refers to us. Many people love the lies because their father the devil is the father of lies. Many Christians celebrate christmas in the way of the world because many of them are afraid to stand up, some just don't know any better and some are just self professed christians who don't follow the way of the Lord. This isn't a honest or just world so expect any better. Strive to be the best you can be and try to help who you can on the way.Thank you and If you want to listen and be apart of a Bold Bible Based Ministry.

After reading the Bible several times thoughtfully, I always THOUGHT whoever wrote it had it "in for us".\n\nMaybe priest molestation IS a pure form of "truth in advertizing" fot this assumption?  and then there is women doomed to childbirth in pain, so on, so on.

You make some very good points. The bible was written in a time when homosexuality wasnt very common, people read into it much too far and take something out of it that could very well be not true.

Here are some other gems for you(posted these in another thread) \n\nProof of the 'love' of God in the bible\n\n"God" slaughtered innocent babies because of Pharaoh's stubbornness: "At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.” (Exod. 12:29)\n\n"God" had babies dashed to pieces and pregnant women ripped open: "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:16)\n\n"God" wanted children to be murdered as human sacrifices: "I let them become defiled through their gifts - the sacrifice of every firstborn - that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.” (Ezek. 20:26)\n\n"God" threatened to have innocent children be devoured by wild animals: “I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted.” (Lev. 26:22)\n\n"God" threatened to have children cannibalized: "If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.” (Lev. 26:27-29)\n\n"God" ordered the genocide of women, children and babies: "Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”” (1 Sam. 15:2-3)\n\n"God" aborted fetuses and murdered children in answer to the prophet Hosea's prayer: "Give them, O Lord – what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry .... Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring." (Hosea 9:14-16)\n\n"God" murdered a baby because of David's adultery: “Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan replied, "The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have made the enemies of the Lord show utter contempt, the son born to you will die." (2 Sam. 12:13-14)\n\n"God" ordered people to kill their brothers, friends and neighbors: “Then he said to them, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.'" (Exod. 32:27

I am a Christian.  However the bible was written by MAN not GOD.  I do not think God wants us to be slaves to our husbands, thats just what man wanted from women.

sadly your friend is the victom of a good christian upbringing! jesus brought the word of love and pease. man, invented a religion! in this religion a bunch of wackoos got together and dreamed up a lot of sick ideas and made them law. so for 2000 years people fearing eternal damnation have followed these sick laws. now that people have out grown the need for self punishment, a lot of these sick ideas are now criminal offences. for example, your freind was referring to the old addage, "spare the rod, spoil the child" this means you can beat the hell out of your children and feel good about it because," GOD demands it!"  now days, IT'S CALLED CHILD ABUSE!!  a hopfully  the bitch will get turned in and have to sit her ass in jail or at least have her kid taken away from her! don't you just love that old time religion?

1. I love the website linked! It has every verse in the King James Bible listed directly and exactly as it is and reveals it for what it is. \n\nBibleGod killed babies, commited mass genocide and more and is all clearly there! \n\n2. The answer is no. There is some literature that is equally cruel and violent, but not anywhere close to having the vast amount of it as the bible does. \n\nBTW, I found a link to this great video clip on that site!\nhttp://throwawayyourtv.com/2006/06/bible-is-bullshit.html\n\nThanks abunch!

The bible is 99% pure, however there still exist copyist errors which you most definitely have pointed out.  The first is a numbering copyist error and the second, one of the daughters is actually Merab.  However the christian faith does not rest on tiny pieces of data like these examples.  All of the questionable material of the bible has absolutely no impact on the doctrine of Christianity--they are all very minute details such as the ones you have pointed out.  The other 'supposed' contradictions out there commit several logical fallacies such as quoting out of context and juxtaposition, and do not look at hebrew or greek colloquialisms

Proof that our "friend" is a hypocrite and a mental case, see above.\n\nI ask myself every time I read the Bible, what does this mean FOR me.

That list of all the Bible parts listed as "the thinking of God" is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard.\nBible is full of contradictions. \nThe Ancient Testament says also that killing in the name of God is right.\nIs good also to have sex with your daughter or your son.\n\nChrist never said anything of that. We are Cristians.\n\nYou should study some antropology before telling other people that they're living in sin. In ancient times it was a shame to give away your sperma without having a child.\n\nLove is never a sin. Sex connected to love is never a sin. Sex is not a sin.\nVIOLENCE is sin!
