Epimethean Wrote:Uh, the point is, the bible advocates just about everything which it condemns, and so, it is a self-refuting text full of contradiction and hypocrisy. Suggesting it holds the high moral ground is pure idiocy.
have you read the whole bible? if not how can you make these claims? you cannot read part of a book, take a couple of sentences out of context and out of culture and say it contradicts itself.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
