Excellent question, and not only is the Bible repulsive, the Bible is also trash.
The Bible is the biggest load of garbage and codswallop ever written by man, and I’m sure it will go down in history as the greatest load of gobbledygook ever to inflict such traumatic mental and physical damage on humanity, but still today, some people sadly believe the Bible to be true. That’s very sad indeed. Very sad.
When people quote various passages from the Bible, for example ...
Mathew 5:29-30 God encouraged self-mutilation.
Isaiah 13:15-18 God allowed women raped and little children slaughtered.
Genesis 6:11-17 and 7:11-24 God is the greatest mass murder in history.
What happens? Religious people pop up from under every stone with the same old garbage. “That was the old Bible, or we’ve changed the meaning, or wrong interpretation, or we’ve changed the context, or the quotes are out of context or or or, excuse after excuse.”
The fact is, they are Bible quotes, and the Bible is full of evil atrocities which religious people continually cover up, yet seem happy to drum into the minds of gullible little children. This is such a shameful disgrace in a civilised world.
If religious people are unable to apply commonsense and logic to develop a simple moral code to live by, then perhaps they could strip out of the Bible the evil, murders, rapes, abuse, and all traumatic references. Granted there will not be a lot left to read, but at least religious people may end up with a decent moral code to follow based on good, and not scare the living daylights out of innocent little children.

No, if you cannot look see the reason behind some of the phrases and concentrate on looking at it from a critical perspective You might.
Are you an atheist that was raised in an atheist household? If you are then you are conditioned to hate the bible and think it's repulsive. I know alot who say they are "free thinkers" but they just listen to what their friends, parent, or siblings tell them.

Only those that reject God and sin daily see the bible as repulsive. God's words are true and is a personal conviction of the heart that needs purification.

Having read the entire about 20 times and some passages 100s of times.(like psalms 91), I don't think it is repulsive.

yes, it is totally repulsive. If such a thing as "God" did actually exist then it would be totally pi**ed off to be associated with such a lying piece of rubbish as the bible. To say the bible is the word of god is insult. If god had really wanted to fax the instrcutions on how to live then i think it would have made a better job of it than the bible.

Some quotations tend to be repulsive. Keep your eyes on the big picture in life, not verses that can be taken out of context.

A lot of it is, but not all of it. Some preaches peace, and that's alright, but a lot more preaches war and hate, and so i'm glad to be an atheist and be free of being shackled to the oppinions, beliefs, and sense of morals of a single book written thousands of years ago.
Freedom is a wonderful thing.

Of course not! It's a historical document; but contains human errors and inaccuracies. It was written by different cultures and tribes regarding their religious unity. Look closely, the bible contradicts itself several times.
It's just a book, don't hate!

I think this a forum for intellectuals but when you people ask such questions I doubt. Is it necessary to erase the line of other to make your line bigger. Everybody have their belief as you have you own. And please don't comment on things which you don't know thoroughly.
