a continuation of my assault on religion...(UPDATED)

are we really supposed to believe this book? and use it as a guide for morality? and worse, use it as a guide for a laws in a civilized society?

the bible was written by a multitude of fearful, faulty men and does NOT contain the immutable word of god. we might as well be using The Collected Works of Shakespeare as our basis for morality. we'd probably be better off if we did. plus, we'd know the contents inside were in fact the immutable word of the bard.

UPDATE:

Here are more sites to enjoy during the extended New Year weekend:
Why Won't God Heal Amputees?
The Creation Fallacy
Evil Bible
The Secular Outpost Blog
The Secular Web
American Atheists

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

ha!
exactly....and how much DO you charge for prostituting your daughter? the bible is mum on that. i mean, it says we CAN, but what's fair market price?

i suppose it depends on how pretty and buxom she is...

ridiculous.

What amazes me most about quotes like those is the fact that the evangelicals can casually dismiss them as being no longer relevant, and yet somehow still find evidence in the same books to support their homophobic agendas and their contraprogressive nonsense like opposition to stem cell research, without finding the slightest error in their logic. If one part of a book is fallible, certainly other parts can be as well! Failure to recognize that is worse than ignorance, because it's a concious sort of double-think. Orwell would be proud.

and could I get a locust sandwich, hold the katydid dressing, extra cricket? since that's okay to eat.

oh, and remember: god hates figs, not fags.

look it up.

figs, fags....adulterers, people who worship other gods...god hates a lot of things and people for being some damn benign.

good point Kav,
the pick-n-choose interpretation of the Bible is ridiculous, but it's the only way to actually "believe" in the bible.
