This contains them all.

Before you defend slavery, child murder, genocide, or paying a king in foreskins (yes read it under "absurd" I think), please please please... THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL BE DEFENDING! READ IT, REALIZE THE HATE IT SHOWS, AND WONDER ABOUT IT! That being said, every verse here will have a justification.... Makes me sick.

My bad. The verse about foreskins being currency is under "disgusting".

Ahh the inevitable John 3:16 garbage. When in doubt, just quote that one. Get a clue. Your loving God also said these hateful, murderous things. It is YOUR Bible! Don't defend this.

Answer 1

It's really pointless directing religious people to websites like the "amputee" one. In the first place, they won't go there; in the second place, if they do, the tone of the site will touch all their sore spots, as it's intended to - but it won't have the effect of making them question their religion; and in the third place, you're right, they've got sleazy Sunday School dodges for every despicable-by-modern-standards excerpt.

"Elisha and the She-Bears" (2Kings 2:23-24) has always been a favorite of mine. Some kids make fun of Elisha, so God possesses some she-bears and mauls the kids to death. I've actually seen "Christians" argue, in response to this story, that the "kids" were really punk teenagers (as if that makes it OK), and "That's what you get for messing with God's prophet!" Gee, yeah...that's really...righteous...

P.S. Or you can take ready4sea's approach, and quote "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." In other words, to question the Bible's barbarity and savagery is to "mock God," and obviously you're playing with fire there!

Hateful Bible Quotes

Answer 3

Believers often use the statement that when the linear context of the bible passage paints God in a dark, sinister light, then it is out of context.

But that is their context.
Since the old and new testaments have already been written, they can only make up the context.

If something is stated as what God commanded to do, like for Abraham to sacrifice his only son to God, then be like, I was just testing you, slay this animal instead. It doesn't change with time, That written God is saying it is right to do blood sacrifice. Later he apparently changed his mind and figured sacrificing his son would be the ultimate blood sacrifice. Theistic satanists are actually doing what that written God has said to do. And if you are a slave, be committed to the good and the perverse owner.

It is all pretty sick.

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian




10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."


3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

Answer 5

There are in the Old Testament, but they were relevant during that time period. The people didn't see it as being sexist or terrible. The New Testament is much more applicable to our day. If your going to analyze any scripture or apply scripture to your life I would focus more on the New Testament. :)

Answer 6

The most sexist thing in the bible for me is that, all and all God is portrayed to value men over women, All in the bible men and their male descendants are mentioned, but never the females.

I also hate it that eve's punishment in the garden of Eden was more harsh than Adam's, even though he was the one responsible for her. Eve was stricken with birth pangs, AND she had to become a pratical slave to her husbands demands, when he was given dominion over her. Geez, what's with that.

Answer 7

In Judges 19:22-29 there's a man who throws his female slave to a pack of rapists and then cuts her to pieces with a knife to cover his actions.

Answer 8

This has a few gems.

Is there a similar site for the Q'uran's outpouring of love and tenderness? It would be fun to see what the other "great monotheistic religion" has to say.

Answer 9

If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; (13:6-10)
"Thine hand shall be first upon him."
If your brother, son, daughter, wife, or friend tries to get you to worship another god, "thou shalt surely kill him, thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death." If Bible-believers followed this one, they would have to kill many of their own family and friends.

When to Stone Your Whole Family
13:7 Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
13:8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
13:9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
13:10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13:11 And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

Answer 10

Interesting is the one where if a man is *caught* raping a virgin, then he must marry her. The rape victim is rewarded with a rapist husband. Nice?
