I find nothing about the Bible disturbing.
What is disturbing, is that most here find the Bibles "in your face", "hide nothing" honesty disturbing.
These things did happen, and the writers, unlike some of todays writers told the truth, and this comes across as something that should be ridiculed or spoken of in jest ?
Maybe the biblical writers should have sugar coated everything, as the Society often did with the " Gods too good make a place like hell " speach. There are times where the truth really sucks, but I'd still rather hear it, then a lie.
There is a whole other Testament that everyone seems to be ignoring, its called the New Testament. Read it, especially the women here that seem to think God hates them, I think you get the direction I'm going in.
This is the perfect example of what orginized religion does to good peoples minds, maybe if more of you hadnt been lazy to the point of allowing yourselves to be spoon fed all that you believed about God, and had actually spent some time researching his word on your own, you would have never gotten to the point of hating Him, or no longer believing.
Just one quick note, can anyone here explain to us what biblical slavery really was ? Any hands ?
Please stop adding your own modern meaning into written history, biblical slavery wasnt like the evil of modern day black slaves, now that was truely horrible.
Anyone ?
Oh and Quotes, stop attributing mans traditions, which by the way Christ spoke against, to it being one of Gods rules or laws.
Try reading the original Hebrew, instead of todays versions of the Bible, why you might ask ?
Example, original hebrew speaks of dragons (dinosaurs) roaming the earth, and even flying dragons (dinosaurs), behomoths (dinosaurs) with tails the size of cedar trees, yet our evolutionist revision gives us, hippos, birds and crocodiles. Hell, its always easier to just fit in, and be liked by everyone, and I see one big love fest going on here.
Its cool to believe in nothing, hell, then your not held accountable for the damage you do to others as you walk through your selfish little life.
When was the last time any of you did anything for someone unselfishly, as a missionary does. Laid your lives on the line for an unknown person, or tried to make a difference. Until you do, your humanist philosophies mean nothing but self soothing talk, sounds selfish eh ?
