Atrocities in the Bible
RE: Atrocities in the Bible
OFC it does...because, as GC has told us, translations of the bible don't change what's in the bible, they just modernize the language to help us understand....so that we don't have to wonder what proto-elizabethan "thighs to rot" meant...particularly, when every proto-elizabethan already understood the phrase plain as day.  Honestly, I never had any trouble with that one either, no modernized translation required...it's fairly explicit.

I do find it amusing, though, that even the NIV sticks with "she will become a curse" rather than the well attested understanding that this refers to sterilization.  I guess that there are some lines even the christers won't cross in trying to make the "word of god" plain to all.  

Rolleyes

Catholics, ofc, to their great (dis?)credit have an easy out. "A sola scriptura".....so, the OT authors got that wrong and god is totally not onboard with what those icky jews were up to in the OT. A southern baptist, however, as a member of the protestant schism....no such luck. We see, though, how committed these bible thumpers are to the bible, in this thread. I have to ask, is there really any difference? None of them -actually- believe the shit that's in magic book...and they'll argue against it directly whenever it suits their own personal fancy. Makes you wonder why they;re so surprised when we, as atheists, don't believe the shit in magic book.

You'd think they understand completely. It ought to be a point of common ground, and yet.......
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
