A discussion around family table.

[Scented Nectar]

Here's 13 from just exodus since you have a hard time reading, I'll add the disclaimer that you're never going to get a list of good that outwieghs your skewed, cherry picked version of it. This is the last time I'm answering this question.

Honor thy father and thy mother." 20:12

The full thing is "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." Does that mean to obey them or to consider them honourable? Both are bad laws. The first means that even if they are cruel unfit parents, you have to obey them, and the second means that even if they are cruel unfit parents, you have to think nice things about them. Where's the good in this biblebook?

"Thou shalt not kill." 20:13

This command is only applied to those who are not a different religious belief/practice, gay, female, disobedient around parents, wearing more than one type of fabric, etc. The other parts of the bible make it very clear that those who kill by god's command are not guilty of anything such as that commandment. Where's the good in this biblebook?

"Thou shalt not commit adultery." 20:14

How is this a good commandment????? According to the bible, I am committing adultery if I have sex with anyone other than the man my father sells me to. Where's the good in this biblebook?

"Thou shalt not steal." 20:15

That's a rather mild good general law, one which does not make up for slaughter and oppression. Is this the best the bible has to show me? At least modern secular law isn't so vague about theft. It's very detailed, fair and refined from continual improvement. The bible is behind the times. Where's the good in this biblebook?

"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." 20:16

Kill them, but don't lie about them. Where's the good in this biblebook?

Be kind to strangers, widows, and fatherless children. 22:21-22

"Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child." Another vague nicey thing. And of course, there is nothing here that says the vague nonafflictingness should extend to not killing them when god orders you to. Where's the good in this biblebook?

Fuck the rest, this is tiring. You keep presenting me with stuff that's either vile, or vague, or at best so mild a goodness that, like the weights and measures, it doesn't do anything.
