Having Faith in the Bible
by william draper ini know many on here have lost faith in the bible , is it possible that is because ones do not have the right perspective regarding it .
we have usually been taught by bad teachers , or ignorant .
i believe if we take an honest look at the bible , we will see that it gives us the best answers to crucial matters , it gives us some amount of bearings ( understanding ) , which without having such knowledge we would all be more like walking zombies in amanner of speaking , we would be lacking hope in something better , for surely something better is to come , how can we be sure , .

freemindfade,
"To say that the bible is all the things that Cofty mentioned because of cultural attitudes of the time would mean YHWH was relenting to the desires of these tribal sheepherders to follow their culture over TRUE morality."
Excellent point. This can be used as an answer to both Conservative and Liberal Christians who want to ignore the profanity of their Bible.
As regards Deuteronomy 25:11-12 you quoted one of my favorite verses in the Bible.
PS: You may want to correct your citation of that verse in your image. It's Deuteronomy chapter 25 verses 11 and 12.

From a list that I wrote:
A Most Evil and Stupid Book
The Moral Depravity, Absurdities
and Contradictions of the Bible
OLD TESTAMENT (Jewish Bible)
1. Will the real Ten Commandments please stand up? Two different versions of the Ten Commandments that contradict each other: Exodus 20:1-17 compare to Exodus 34:1-27.
2. How the former slaves of Israel treated their own slaves:
Ø Non-Israelites could be taken as slaves for life and their children be passed of as inheritance: Leviticus 25:44-46 compare to Leviticus 19:33-34 where it says the exact opposite.
Ø A Hebrew slave was obligated for only six years of slavery but had to leave behind the wife his master gave him along with his children: Exodus 21:2-6.
Ø A master was allowed to savagely beat his slave so long as he or she did not die within a day or two: Exodus 21:20-21 compare to Exodus 2:11-12.
Ø If a slave had an eye blinded by his master he was to be set free but his master was not blinded in punishment according to the rule of an ‘eye for an eye’ that applied to other people guilty of the same crime: Exodus 21:26-27 compare to Leviticus 24:19-21.
3. Exterminate thy neighbors:
Ø All of them some of the time: Deuteronomy 3:1-6.
Ø Men only at other times. Women and children are plunder: Deuteronomy 20:10-18.
Ø Everyone except virgin girls when the mood strikes: Numbers 31:14-18.
Ø Take captive brides after killing their mother and father: Deuteronomy 21:10-14.
4. How the Israelites treated their ladies:
Ø Women got their hands cut off for defending their husbands if they yanked his attacker's testicles: Deuteronomy 25:11-12.
Ø If a single woman was raped, her rapist was punished by being forced to marry her and never divorce her: Deuteronomy 22:28-29.
Ø If an engaged or married woman was raped she was to be executed if she failed to scream: Deuteronomy 22:23-24.
Ø A woman had to prove her virginity or be stoned to death: Deuteronomy. 22:13-21
Ø A man could sell his daughter into permanent slavery: Exodus 21:7-11.
5. God had someone killed someone for gathering firewood on a Saturday: Numbers 15:32-36.
6. God cannot see well: Genesis 18:20-21; Deuteronomy 23:12-14.
7. God has a lot of trouble counting:
Ø King David kills 700 charioteers and 40,000 horsemen or is it 7,000 charioteers and 40,000 foot soldiers? 2 Samuel 10:18 compare to 1 Chronicles 19:18.
Ø King David kills 18,000 Edomites, or is it 12,000? 1 Chronicles 18:12 compare to Psalms 60 chapter title.
Ø King Solomon’s slave supervisors numbered 550 or 250? 1 Kings 9:20-23 compare to 2 Chronicles 8:7-10.
Ø A talent for exaggeration: 1 Chronicles 22:14.
8. God Unmighty! God miraculously saved the Israelites from Pharaoh’s chariots Exodus 14:23-25 but later he could not handle another nation’s chariots Judges 1:19.
NEW TESTAMENT (Christian Bible)
1. Jesus calls a little girl a dog because she is not an Israelite: Matthew 15:21-26.
2. Jesus curses a fig tree for not having fruit out of season: Mark 11:12-21; Matthew 21:18-20.
3. Jesus curses entire towns for not being impressed by his miracles but later asks God to forgive his murderers: Matthew 11:20-24 compare to Luke 23:34.
4. John the Baptist recognizes Jesus then later forgets who he is: John 1:29-34 and Matthew 3:13-15 compared to Matthew 11:2-3.
5. False prophesies of Jesus and his followers:
Ø The Messiah will come before his disciples finish preaching in Israel. Matthew 10:21-23.
Ø Jesus will be back before some disciples die but later claims he said something else. Matthew 16:28 compare to John 21:21-23.
6. Two tales of two thieves: Matthew 27:38-44 and Mark 15:27-32 compared to Luke 23:39-43.
7. Christian view on women:
Ø Women should shut up in church: 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.
Ø Women should wear a head covering on their heads in church: 1 Corinthians 11:3-6.
8. Christian view on slavery: 1 Peter 2:18-20.
9. Disappearing verses: John 7:53-8:11.
10. Multiple endings for Jesus’ departure: Mark 16:9-19.

God evolved from chimpanzee diety
by freemindfade inresearchers say todays lord almighty shares many traits in common with the chimp deity, including color vision and omniscience.. .
berkeley, cachallenging long-held views on the origins of divinity, biologists at the university of california, berkeley, presented findings thursday that confirm god, the almighty creator of the universe, evolved from an ancient chimpanzee deity.. the recently discovered sacred ancestor, a divine chimp species scientists have named pan sanctorum, reportedly gave rise over millions of years to the lord our god, maker of heaven and earth.. although perhaps not obvious at first glance, there are actually overwhelming similarities between the supreme being of today and this early primate deity who preceded him, said dr. richard kamen, a leading biologist who also heads berkeleys paleotheology department.
the holy chimp moved around on all fours, but its descendants eventually began walking upright to expend less energy while foraging across the infinite reaches of the universe.

Ok, so in the spirit of the April broadcast, what do you want to ask god to fix for you?
by stuckinarut2 inso by now most of us have heard about (or watched) the april broadcast and the ridiculous "experience" of the guy that asked god to fix his construction leak before he believed in him..... so, what would you like to "pray that god fixes" in your life??.
humorous or serious replies welcome!
(although sarcastic, cynical and funny replies preferred hehe).

by EdenOne instemming from the 'absentheism' thread, an old question came to my mind.

On a side note a correction to one of my posts. I said that "belief" was an intellectual desire. I should have said an "emotional and intellectual desire". -

@ pressman, "...bundle up the courage to truly believe in the one true Lord."
For many it takes courage to be an atheist. Nothing expected out of the Universe. No egocentric beliefs that you will be rewarded for eternity for going through a submission ritual.
