Religious zealots tell us that the Bible is proof of God. This is just plain false. The bible is merely an assertion that God exists, but provides no proof. If it can be said that the Bible is the proof of God, then it can also be said that Charles Darwin's book On The Origin Of Species, is proof of evolution. The Bible is an ancient novel chock-full of nudity, sex, murder, rape, genocide, patricide, fratricide, homicide, bestiality, seduction, drinking, cruelty, homosexuality, socialism, magic, witchcraft, wizardry, child and animal sacrifice, prostitution, swearing, lying, cheating, stealing, sexism, misogyny, adultery, polygamy, concubinage, superstition, idolatry, gambling, beatings, maimings, stabbings, testicle-crushing, and really bad morals. As if it didn't already contain enough bad* stuff to get it banned a thousand times over, the wretched book promotes slavery, telling you exactly who you can keep as slaves, and just how severely you can beat them. How cool is that? If it often read to children on Sunday. The Pentateuch is the collection of the first five books of the Bible, from Genesis to Deuteronomy. This section covers the time between the creation of the universe and Israel's entrance into the Promised Land. If it doesn't say what one wants to hear, therefore it's out of context. mistranslated. misunderstood. not guided by the Holy Spirit. a deliberate attempt to mislead us by the Adversary. an atheist/communist lie. Mix and match any or all of the above to taste. The Bible: Slavery Is Good. Gays Are Bad. Snakes Talk
