Trust the Bible?

The Bible is supposed to be God's instructional manual, but I would wager that few in the Christian camp really read it in any great detail and others who do read it to meet a quota and/or to win brownie points with god and barely understand what they are reading. There are no proper perspectives in place and the troubling or hard to understand areas they come to they chalk it up as "God's ways are higher than our ways" coupled with a fear to doubt or question. This is why the cult of Christianity is so powerful and has been used to control the masses for centuries now.

Here then are some examples of things found in the Bible that under normal circumstances would be scoffed at, ignored, rejected, debated if read in something else, but since they are in the Bible, they must be true and not to be questioned.
----------------------------------------------------------------
- Saul is driven to madness by an "evil spirit from the lord" partly because god was still pissed at him for not completely killing every living Amalekite AND their livestock. Apparently their sheep and oxen were evil to.


- Ahab is deceived to his death after god consults with a lying spirit to do him in.

- God strikes Onan dead because he refused to impregnate his dead brother's wife.

- We are told Jezebel, priestess of Baal, killed prophets of god (we never hear her side of that story), but Elijah kills 500 prophets of Baal and he's hailed a hero.

- David supposedly sins because he numbers the children of Israel (Census), but we are told two different accounts. In one, god is who drives him to do it and then the same gets pissed and kills about 70,000 people but David is spared. In the other account, Satan is who (we are told) pushes David to number the people. In one of the accounts also, god is pissed at the people of Israel for some unspecified reason and the way he gets back at them is to push David to number the people so he could get pissed and kill people.

- There is a biblical command that stated that if a man had defective balls, he could not be admitted in the "congregation of the lord." Another one restricts bastard children up to their 10th generation.




NOTE: Many of these stories are clear indication that they were written by delusional writers writing for specific biases. In some cases, like our parents, they drummed up stories OR used unfortunate incidents to enforce or reinforce social mores of that day such as, marrying and impregnating a dead brother's wife so his name would live on or else god would kill you when in fact the poor sap probably got the ride of his life from the woman and his heart could not take it. Other stories came about out of sheer ignorance. Saul, for example, fell into disfavor with the religious community and when he developed manic depression (something these primitive people had no idea about), they chalked it up to the hand of god inflicting him for his rebellion. Another example would be the New Testament story of a child falling to the ground and into fire in what we would call epileptic fits today, but in those days, people attributed it to demon possession.

Some more:

- The biblical Noah is locked away in an ark with ONE window for at least half a year and (as per the bible), two of EVERY animal on earth.

- Moses (supposedly god's anointed and inspired mouthpiece) orders the Israelite soldiers to kill every single Midianite EXCEPT the virgin girls. He is actually pissed at the soldiers for sparing the life of the little children and orders them slaughtered. Also, it's curious to note that Moses' wife was from Midian and so was his father-in-law who actually played an integral role is establishing law and order amongst the Israelites.


- "Slaves obey your masters." WTF???

- In the book of Judges, we are told that god and the tribe of Judah could not defeat a local people in Canaan who used chariots in battle.

- Issac supposedly has a conference with the Phillistine king Abimelech. Only one problem. Issac (if he existed) predated the arrival of the Phillistine people's migration from Crete to Canaan.

God of the bible is a lord of hosts y'all. Its no secret. Hy endorses war, and genocide.

Its weird that he would even think to create the idea of war, but he did. (remember if all is void, everything created after void, is whispered into existence with sentient intentions behind them.... god started with nothing, then he started inventing rebellious angels, and creation that is so doomed he thinks each and every one of us deserve hell, unless we admit it to ourselves and ask his forgiveness for the way we are)

or (since we are the ones warring) he created humans with the capacity to drive them to violent aggression. The same dynamoics of group aggression and brutality are also found in the animal kingdom... LEFT AND RIGHT

the whole thing makes you go hmmmmmmmm

You seem to have a lot of information. Perhaps it would be best if you could mention book, chapter, verse when quoting such things. I don't read the Bible like that, however I would like to look into your information with my own eyes.

Fair enough. I'll try to edit the above information to include them.

maybe people deserve hell fiyah for disobeying ten commandments. since obviously every human on earth has broken them....

but is that really worthy of eternal torment, answer is yes if you believe that this is what god wants.

still sounds fishy to me.... like something wrong with a personality that would wish to have this be his righteous judgement.

who even benefits from this kind of final, absolute laying on the misery and suffering?

does god enjoy this part of his absolute holiness and perfect righteousness?

lol @ ahura mazda
