"The bible test" Answered.

So why hasn't Drich the Giant Killer responded to my latest post, where I pointed out that much of the Old Testament reads like a manual for the Taliban?

You believe that because you have never experienced God and His truth.

In other words, you have no answer. No one can know what I experienced, certainly not you who have never met me.

Going by externals, when I was a Christian, I sacrificed far more than most Christians ever do. I entered a three-year seminary program at the age of 36 with a family of a wife and two children, paid all my own costs, and tithed on my income such as it was.

As for the Old Testament passages ... if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Murdering babies, stoning people who change their religion, cutting off hands, forcing a young woman to marry her rapist, you tell me how to distinguish this from the Taliban.

And telling me that it is printed in a book with black covers and gold lettering which someone told you is the word of God doesn't amount to anything.
