>slavery, including treating people as inheritable property (Leviticus 25:44–46)>beating slaves, with punishment dependent on the outcome (Exodus 21:20–21)>ordering the killing of children and infants during war (1 Samuel 15:3)>celebrating the prospect of infants being dashed against rocks (Psalm 137:8–9)>killing boys and nonvirgin women while keeping virgin girls alive as captives (Numbers 31:17–18)>taking captive women as wives after conquest (Deuteronomy 21:10–14)>offering daughters to a mob threatening sexual violence (Genesis 19:8)>the gang rape and subsequent dismemberment of a concubine (Judges 19:22–29)>father–daughter incest (Genesis 19:30–36)>human sacrifice following a vow to God (Judges 11:30–39)>turning a woman into a pillar of salt for looking back (Genesis 19:26)>sending bears to maul youths after they mock a prophet (2 Kings 2:23–24)>stoning someone to death for gathering wood on the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32–36)>executing people for worshipping other gods (Deuteronomy 17:2–5)>ordering the destruction of an entire town for religious apostasy (Deuteronomy 13:12–16)>threatening that starvation will drive parents to eat their children (Deuteronomy 28:53–57)>foretelling infants being dashed to pieces and pregnant women being ripped open (Hosea 13:16)>killing Egypt’s firstborn (Exodus 12:29–30)>destroying nearly all terrestrial life in a flood (Genesis 7:21–23)And this is considered the most loving and moral story of all time...Boy, priests really got far ahead in the Western world by banning the reading of the Bible and forcing it to be written exclusively in Latin for centuries.
>>18724070You forgot a passage where YWHW celebrates his chosen dashing newborn little heads onto rocks
>>18724070The Abrahamic religions are all incredibly vain and narcissistic, and the "God" figure of the bible is nothing more than the projected ego of damaged and broken men who created those stories, pushing their constant need for validation and praise through a caricature of a deity that is perhaps the most vindictive, spiteful, and openly hateful deity I have ever read in any religious text.If you psycho-analyze the Abrahamic deity, spanning across the entire spectrum of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, he is an absolute despotic tyrant.
>>18724070Actually reading the Bible is what turned me against belief.
>>18724070>father–daughter incest (Genesis 19:30–36)This one is clearly shown to be a bad thing even within the passage but you're right about the othersLet's not forget how Sarah offered Abraham a slave girl to rape, and then when said slave gets pregnant by rape, Sarah severely beats the slave girl for looking at her with any unhappy expression, and then an Angel tells the slave to go back and submit to her mistress Let's also not forget how Yahweh committed global genocide in a flood and condemned people to suffer and die for eating a fruit he put in the centre of the garden, knowing full well they'd eat it.
If the Bible was treated the same way as Greek or any other myths it'd probably be pretty coolBut the fact 60% or the world follows some kind of Abrahamic religion is just nuts...
>>18724070I recommend killing yourself as quickly as possible. It's by far the highest ROI move you can make, and it's not even close.
>>18724163Why are Christians like this
>>18724092To be fair that didn’t actually happen and it was just a Jewish revenge fantasy
>>18724163Loving and forgiving Christians everyone!
>>18724070>Judges 19The moral of this story seems to be that if your father-in-law keeps asking you to stay at his house day after day, you should just give up and settle in until he's prepared to kick you out. And, failing that, you shouldn't be too xenophobic to spend the night in a city of foreigners if it's getting dark out, because there's no guarantee that your own people will be any better. Or something like that. Clearly there's a point being made in how the guy repeatedly rejects opportunties that could've prevented what happened.
>executing people for worshipping other gods >ordering the destruction of an entire town for religious apostasyI find this particularly dishonest because OP is basically arguing that the Israelites were crazy people who needed to die on account of their religion, and really if he met any of the people he warred with he'd have the same opinion of them too, but he's cynically portraying them as innocents instead to own the christchuds.
>>18724189>OP is basically arguing that the Israelites were crazy people who needed to die on account of their religionYes.
>>18724070>the bible conflicts with the Geneva conventionAll that tells me is the Geneva convention should be tossed to the trash. God told his people to annihilate their enemies.
>>18724185Apparently the story may somehow be a satire against King Saul. Enough details line up that it seems likely, but I still don't really get it. https://www.thetorah.com/article/the-story-of-the-concubine-at-gibeah-a-satire-on-king-saul
>>18724070The best part about this is that Christians can’t grow out of any of this. Even 1000 years from now it doesn’t matter what our morals are, these will always be 100% god-approved. Most of them will never consider all the ramping evidence because it was never about logic but about emotions. There is no reality in their minds in which Christianity isn't true.
