Non-Believers' Favorite Parts of the Bible
#11
RE: Non-Believers' Favorite Parts of the Bible
I like the small absurdities.

Like:

You can breed striped goats by having them breed around polls that have stripes painted on them. Gen 30:37-39

You got to love the cure for leprosy. Get two birds. Kill one. Dip the live bird in the blood of the dead one. Sprinkle the blood on the leper seven times, and then let the blood-soaked bird fly off. Next find a lamb and kill it. Wipe some of its blood on the patient's right ear, thumb, and big toe. Sprinkle seven times with oil and wipe some of the oil on his right ear, thumb and big toe. Repeat. Finally kill a couple doves and offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Leviticus 14:2-52

There's plenty other stories like these.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
