Atrocities in the Bible

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Do you really need a list? The common knowledge Bible stories, the ones told to children, involve God condoning, mandating or outright committing obscenities.

I want a list of the most shocking ones. I'll probably get into a conversation about it at some point and Christians have a way of ignoring or explaining away a lot of things. I think things like genocide and animal cruelty and stoning a kid for disobedience have more of a punch.

Here's a few:
1.  2 Kings 6:28-29
2.  Jeremiah 19:7-9
3.  Lamentations 2:20-22
4.. Leviticus 26:29

2.  Jeremiah 19:7-9
3.  Lamentations 2:20-22
4.. Leviticus 26:29

Thank you, I will look those up.

1.  2 Kings 6:28-29

This one I don't like as much because it's just someone explaining something that happened as a result of a siege, but I like the other ones better because it's saying God caused it to happen.

I tried it. It refreshed my memory on the 42 kids that were killed by bears for mocking a man of god. Seriously! This story was told at Sunday school to kids and we accepted it as a good ending! Lol! Christians can be so cruel and not even realize it.

All of the biblical stories are based upon one of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 34:11-28.  Sometimes the stories emphasize what happens to the individual who violates one of the Ten Commandments and other times it emphasizes what happened to the Israelites when they abandoned or followed the Ten Commandments.

Those stories are based upon the 10th Commandment, Exodus 34:26 (NKJV) = "You shall not not a young goat in its mother's milk".

A dude sacrificed his son to save people from himself.
Can't get any more shocking than that.

Ah, and here you've gracefully yet bluntly noted the flaw of much of the Christian beliefs system. It is illogical from that perspective. The Christ of GOD sacrificed himself for the sake of man and life; not as a payment as many would have you think exactly; but as an example.


As far as the atrocities in the ot are concerned, the majority are generally taken out of context and explained with a literal understanding, or more appropriately; lack there of. The actual historical recounting of atrocities committed by man under the supposed direction of GOD, are a display of the known misdirection of the Jew stated repeatedly in the ot and by the Christ.

If a robot was able to have and wholly abide by the selfless conscience for the sake of profitable existence and advancement of all then, yes, I would feel safe with it, as long as I could reference the code to be certain.

Just my opinion.

Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

 
Isa 13:16
Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.


Isaiah 13

One of my favorites to throw in the faces of sanctimonious cunts.

This is crazy. I had no idea there was another set of commandments carved upon stone and brought down to the people with a radiant face. How come nobody ever mentions those commandments?! I know my Bible pretty damn well and I've never heard of this one. Interesting. Thanks.

You mean you don't know?

Malachi 2:16

"For I hate divorce!" says the LORD, the God of Israel. "To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife."
