children's bible

children's bible
I was reading a thread that talked about someone owning a childrens bible and it reminded me of my own.I remember it had lots of nice stories and kind acts,yet missed the flood,the plauges,and all the other killings.I remember the pretty drawings it had.I also rember believing everything in it because my mom assured me that these things actually happened and was just a smaller version of the bible and that god did many other tings for us with his love.

What followed was me being indoctrinated and going to a catholic school until i turned 15 by wich i had already stoped believing.¿Anyone else have one of these?¿Arent they a good way to get kiids hooked into their beliefs?

If you ask me, the regular bible is pretty fucking childish.

How could you possibly suggest that The Bronze Age Goat-herders' Anthology of Campfire Tales for Boys is childish?

Because it was a way to get them to stop fucking the goats.

You'd have to ask the goats.

Never had a "children's bible"

All the fundie adults knew no child would ever read the real one on their own anyway. They just read me the parts they wanted me to hear.


I do remember though that about middle school they really started in on the fire & brimstone action.

Douchebags.

Jesus said, "I say this to you. If anyone looks at a woman and wants to have sex with her, he has already had sex with her in his mind". (Matthew 5:28)
Psalm 51

(This is) for the music leader.
(It is) a psalm of David.
(It was) when the *prophet Nathan came to him.
(It was) after (David) had sex with Bathsheba.

v1 Give *mercy to me, God, because of your kind love.
Because you have so much love, forget that I did not obey you.

v2 Wash me (from the bad feeling that I have)
because of the bad thing that I did.
Make me clean from all my *sin.

v3 Because I know that I did not obey you
and my *sin is always in front of me.

v4 I have *sinned against you and only you.
You saw the *evil that I did.
And so you are right when you talk to me.
You are not wrong when you say that I am bad.

v5 I am sure that I have done bad things since my birth.
I have always wanted to *sin since the day that I was born.

v6 But you want me to be good
and you want to teach me how to live in the proper way.

v7 Make me clean with hyssop and I shall be really clean.
Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.

v8 I want to hear happy words that give me *joy.
I want the bones that you broke to *rejoice.

v9 Hide your face from my *sins
and forget all the bad things that I have done.

v10 *Create a *pure *heart inside me, O God.
And put a strong spirit in me.

v11 Do not send me away from where you are.
Do not take your *Holy Spirit from me.

v12 Give me back the *joy that I get when I am safe with you.
And (give me) a spirit that makes me strong to give help (to people).

v13 I will teach your ways to those people that fight against you.
Then *sinners will return to you.

v14 Take away from me the bad feeling that I have because I killed someone,
God, the God that makes me safe.
(Then) my *tongue will sing of your *righteousness.

v15 *Lord, open my lips,
then my mouth will say how great you are.

v16 For animal *sacrifice does not bring you pleasure, or I would make it.
You would not want a whole burnt offering.

v17 The *sacrifices that God wants are a broken spirit
and a broken *heart that knows that it has *sinned.

. . .

v18 In your pleasure, do good things to Zion.
Build up the walls of Jerusalem.

v19 Then:
· there will be the right kind of animal *sacrifice
· whole burnt offerings will bring you pleasure
· they will offer bulls on your *altar.

That's the verse Jimmy Carter cited in regard to his "adultery", IIRC. Man was boring when he was being lecherous. :yawn:
