Like, when you see stuff like this in the Bible:
Leviticus 20:13 “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.”
You don't think it is homophobic, and just blame Dawkins for saying it is? Or do you think that God is right and that gays should be put to death?
The verse you are quoting does not pertain to me. That is one of the Laws given to Moses in the Torah. I am not a Jew nor do I live in ancient Palestine. I live here in America in 2021.
Well, that is the God that Dawkins is talking about, and yes, you are turning the blind eye toward it.
When it comes to being offended, you believe that we athletes will all be tortured forever, and yet you are the one who is offended. Well, I am offended by your barbarism and your violent religion.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
