"The Bible: a book which either reads you or is worthless" ~ CHAZAL ...
If you read the Bible like an "instruction manual," it is rules and regulations on when and with whom you can have sex, how you can kill them if you don't like what they did, how to treat your slaves, beat or kill your children, when to kill enemies who surrender including their children but save the virgins for rape, or make any kind of image (not just graven ones) of any kind of thing in heaven or earth (KJV), submission to authority even when it is cruel or violates your rights, impossible earth sciences, teaches adult nursing as a way for a woman to hold on to her husband (actually that is one of the few good parts there), usury is ungodly (but so many Christians have no trouble with that one), &c. And today's parents complain about such games as Grand Theft Auto. My own son was prohibited from reading the Bible until he was of the age for any other pornography and violent material.
As I said before, it is an evil book. Same order as Mein Kampf, but, Hitler didn't kill as many people. Though he was a Christian too.
He was less hypocritical too, as he actually practiced a lot of what the Bible says to do.
"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the Flag and carrying a Cross" - CS Lewis, a counter-quote for you from someone I have heard of.
"Be ye not lost amongst Precept of Order." - Book of Uterus, 1:5, "Principia Discordia, or How I Found Goddess and What I Did to Her When I Found Her."
