Atheists, the Bible tells us that God knows every single hair on your head. Think of that. Every single hair! Yet you will not try to believe in him and know him?
The Bible also tells us that single mothers should be stoned to death.
The Bible also tells us teenagers who hit their parents should also be put to death.
The Bible also tells us anyone who works on the day of
rest should be put to death. That’s over 40 million Americans all put to
death.
Yeah, but they’re not fetuses, so who cares?
The Bible also tells us that slavery is okay.
The Bible also tells us to be kind to poor people and sick people. Yet in America Christians says that poor people are lazy and don’t deserve healthcare.
Christians are really fucking picky when it comes to which parts of the Bible they believe. It’s like they don’t really believe it, except when it serves to confirm and justify their own prejudice.
The Bible also tells us that single mothers should be stoned to death. Burned not stoned, my mistake..
Genesis 38:24
About three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your
daughter-in-law has been immoral. Moreover, she is pregnant by immorality.”
And Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”
The Bible also tells us teenagers who hit their parents should also be put to death.
Leviticus 20:9
For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall
surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood
is upon him.
Exodus 21:15
Whoever strikes his father or his mother shall be put
to death.
The Bible also tells us anyone who works on the day of rest should be put to death. That’s over 40 million Americans all put to death.
Exodus 35: 2
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there
shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth
work therein shall be put to death.
Numbers 15:32–36
And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness,
they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him
unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
And they put him in ward, because it was not declared
what should be done to him.
And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely
put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without
the camp.
And all the congregation brought him without the camp,
and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Peter 2:18
Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence,
not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are
perverse.
Ephesians 6:5
Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according
to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart,
as to Christ
Exodus 21:22
When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so
that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall
surely be fined, as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and he shall
pay as the judges determine.
Judges 11:30-39
Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering
for God’s favor in killing the Ammonites.
Judges 16:27-30
God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to
crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe..
Kings 1:9-10
Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven
to prove he is God.

God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother’s
widow.
Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9
God threatens to punish the Israelites by making them
eat their own children.
The Bible contains weird rules about slavery and animal
sacrifice, and seems to be disgusted by women’s bodily functions.
The Bible has laws prohibiting wearing mixed fabrics.
The Bible praises the righteousness of a man who impregnated
his daughters after first offering them up for rape.
The Bible has a story about an ark that contained two
or seven of every animal, the rest perishing in a flood that covered the
entire world.
The Bible contains contradictions, false history, inaccurate
science and failed prophecies.
The Bible extols the virtues of genocidal leaders such
as Moses and Joshua.
The Bible ends in a series of bizarre prophecies, culminating
in a mass slaughter of the human race.
God apparently knows everything, except during the Garden of Eden, where Adam was hiding, and God was asking where he was. He also asked the Devil where he had been. Later, he states he will use a candle to light the way to find someone in the night. Yet he should know where they are.
The bible is meaningless. God doesnt exist but if he did
he needs to be.curing cancer instead of counting hairs.
It’s the same with the abortion debate, American Christians
are thoroughly opposed to abortion, unless of course the fetus happens
to be Afghan, Iraqi, Libyan, Syrian, Russian, Chinese, black, slaves, North
American Indian, Iranian, North Korean, Columbian, Mexican, Cuban, or any
of the other countries/nations that the US has dropped bombs on, and then
it’s not such an issue
It’s also not an issue when the inconvenient pregnancy
belongs to two White Christians. I’ve never seen anything move so fast
as my White male married pro-life Christian coworker when he got a much
younger woman with child.
That just proves that Christians can be just as hypocritical
and self-serving as non-Christians. We already KNEW that.
The Bible provides instructions on how to perform an abortion
and it can only be done by a priest. Also consider this:
Exodus 21:22
When men strive together and hit a pregnant woman, so
that her children come out, but there is no harm, the one who hit her shall
surely be fined, as the woman's husband shall impose on him, and he shall
pay as the judges determine.
This states it is possible to force a pregnancy miscarriage
(by hitting a woman) such that there is “no harm”. I can only assume that
means “no permanent physical harm to the woman”. The fetus is dead, yet
there is “no harm”. Which clearly indicates that an abortion is not a murder,
because it isn’t even necessarily any harm.
I think most women would prefer the skills of a qualified
doctor rather than a priest!
Christians, why should we give a flying fuck what your
book of myths states when you refuse to acknowledge the wisdom buried in
other mythical writings?
Your entire world view is based on faith. By (literal) definition, that means you have no supporting evidence. All scriptures wind up getting interpreted by assholes who use their sacred writings to justify whatever they want to do, even though it means harming others. Are you one of those assholes/
The Bible also says that if a man rapes a virgin all he
has to do is pay her father 50 shekels of silver and marry the girl and
all is fine and dandy.
I mean have you really read the Bible or just the
parts you like?????
The bible was written as a way to control the ignorant, peasants 5 thousand years ago... unfortunately the same applies today..
By this logic, the Qoran is true, also, as is every single holy book. For a few years, in Germany, Mein Kampf was true, and don't forget the Little Red Book, or the collected writings of Stalin.
“We are in a different time then in the old testament times.” How? I’ll tell you one way it’s different: the Bible takes place on a flat earth, and it’s explicit that even God thinks he created it that way. Why? Because the scribes who created God thought the earth was flat, and God was only as wise as those writers because he’s the main character in the worst novel ever. We live on a round Earth that’s only superficially like what’s in the Bible. It doesn’t have four corners, as Revelations claims, twice. I’d say that disproves the accuracy of the Bible. And Heaven isn’t above; Hell is not below. Not only does God not exist, but the world the Bible describes doesn’t. It may superficially look like the real Earth, but it’s utterly different. You say the Bible is the Word of God, and you know that because the Bible says it. That’s putting the cart in front of the horse. You’re content with your faith, and I’m okay with that. I’m not here to attack your faith, but I’m also not going to hide my skepticism, whatever comes of your faith. If possible, get to Heaven, but to me you look like a man chasing a mirage to quench his thirst.
I do not believe in God or Gods. So I do not care what
is written in the Bible. The Bible is for me a fairy tale.
Not very good fairy tales either, they would have frightening
the living shit if I read those as bed time story's Grims are a lot better.
All “gods” are created in the image of their believers.
You mean the Bible as written by MEN, in Hebrew, then (badly) translated by MEN into Greek, then (badly) by other MEN into Latin, then amended and abridged by MEN at the Council of Nicea, then translated by MEN into Middle English, then further amended by King James. Seems to me that there’s a lot of involvement of MEN in the history of the work of fiction known as “The Bible”. JRR Tolkien created an equally believable creation myth, and the battles between good and evil, and he did it all himself in a little over 70 years - not two millenia!
The bible also tells us that bats are birds.
And that stars are angels attached to the underside of
the “firmament”.
