A Former Atheist

[dahrling]

Yes, a mirror of the time and the society they were created for. It's mildly interesting from a historical point of view, it's utterly appaling that a lot of people still try to follow that kind of desert dwelling Iron Age legislation to the letter.

That sickens me as well.  The fact that people disregard that the Bible has literally been the same for the majority of its existence and yet people claim that it is still relevant.

I hear a lot of people trying to defend the Bible with the argument "it was historically/culturally appropriate for/at the time".

I'm like, okay? But it isn't appropriate now. So why do you still follow it? O_O
