To Christians...Theocracy?

[Grasshopper]

There's a few good bits, but it's mostly monstrously evil. If you knew nothing about who "god" was, or that this book was meant to be about anything real, I think almost anyone would come to the conclusion that "god" is an evil tyrant. You're right, the start of the bible is heavy going because it's alternatively extremely boring and irrelevant, unbelievable, and evil. Really not a lot more than that in the old testament. The new testament is just a bunch of hearsay, no eye witness testimony.

Yep I don't know why anyone would read it at all, let alone take it seriously. It has just developed a reputation and cult following. I don't believe it has anything at all relevant to our society that isn't blindingly obvious.

Are you aware that these are the 10 commandments? See how many of these have any relevance at all to our society.

Yes I know those are the ten commandments. What's your point? And I would debate on what you think is monstrous but that's your opinion and I don't want to interfere.
