Do you guys have any favorite Bible verses? They could be funny and ridiculous or horrifying and immoral or just plain confusing. I find that the Bible's absurdity is revealed by its own words, and I can't figure out why anyone would try to bend over backwards mentally to try and twist certain passages to fit their own morality.
My handful of favorites:
Deuteronomy 23:1 "No one who is emasculated or has his male organ cut off shall enter the assembly of the LORD."
Cut off some of your kids' penises, but don't go crazy with it!
King 2:23-24 "Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths."
It's like a death metal version of Goldilocks!
And finally,
Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "If two men, a man and his countryman, are struggling together, and the wife of one comes near to deliver her husband from the hand of the one who is striking him, and puts out her hand and seizes his genitals, then you shall cut off her hand; you shall not show pity."
If you're trying to help your husband in a fight, no ball grabbing. You'll lose your hand.

In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
