But that book is the only thing that keeps them from going on murderous rampages. Coming to think of it, it's not even very good at stopping the murderous rampages.

The Crusades, the Inquisition, the war in the middle east - all Abrahamic-religiously motivated murderous activities.

Israel - Palestine is two non-Christian abrahamic religions fighting each other currently. Then of course there's Catholics and Protestants, and all the different Muslim - Christian conflicts.

Tell ya what, I'll build a time machine, go back, find this Abraham guy, teach him English, get him caught up on the last 2 millennia, and have him straighten out all this shit.

It certainly does not stop them from raping. However reading the Bible, it seems it actually encourages both murder and rape.

Depends on the eyes reading it, I read the Bible like several times and all it did was make me not believe in it less each time

How about Numbers 31:17-18 where Moses says:

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Definitely not as sex slaves, as a certain religious person I know argues, as apparently that would be intermarriage and forbidden! They just have to live with the trauma of having their entire family brutally murdered before them, and then being enslaved to the murderers for the rest of their lives. So much better!

But it's not supposed to be literal!

(unless I say it is)

Probably get 1k a month for a good sized fish stomach.

I remember that Ren and Stimpy episode...

[–] groucho@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you read it the right way, the book of Jonah reads like a really weird episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

What’s the book of Job then? A you tube prank channel run by man-babies?

A narcissistic asshole gaslighting its victims into believing they’re not really victims because the narcissistic asshole made a bet.

It’s supposed the be an explanation for how evil can exist despite a benevolent creator… but it sums up as a sock puppet to which the explanation is “you wouldn’t understand”

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's also completely undermined in Isaiah.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Isaiah 45:7. Evil exists because God creates evil.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

pretty sure Isaiah didn't conceive of a benevolent god.

pretty sure Isaiah's god (all four isaiahs, in fact,) was a pretty freaking angry god.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The Bible is nothing if not inconsistent.

[–] groucho@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago

Pretty much yeah. I was going to say an episode of Fear Factor but same thing.

I believe ever time the bible mentions angel in physical form was just Albino people fucking around.

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Biblically accurate angels are exactly what youd see on some good psychedelics

No no you don't understand. You shouldn't be taking it literally it's an allegory - many theists probably
