the bible also says to stone to death women who commit adultery

^^^ waste of good weed or righteous retribution?

you decide.

quote, please?

I read this thread title as "Now that the pointless ERECTIONS are out of the way... " Which could have been a much more interesting topic imo...

Deutoronomy 22:21 and 22:22
22:20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 22:21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

the Bible says a LOT of dumb stupid meaningless contradictory viciously evil shit.

More from Deutoronomy

22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.


so according to the stupid bullshit Bible, and the supposed "god" whose word it "is", if you rape a virgin, you get punished by giving 50 pieces of silbver to her dad and marrying the virgin you raped. fun times!

gotta love the Bible!

is advice dog still around?

I'm glad I won't see or hear GWB anymore.
On the other hand , I thought Obama was cool as a challenger , but as president , I already hate him.

Yes, but those who understand the bible also know that this was under the Mosaic Law, a law that Jesus replaced with a new covenant when he was on Earth. Also, those laws were not in stone (well, technically they probably were) and it was encouraged to show love and lieniency when possible; the most harsh punishments were reserved for those who were totally unrepentant. Basiclly saying, you had to right to punish them this far, but most people wouldn't want to, since they were usually dealing with friends and family.

(I'm at work right now and not able to back this up, but I have done it before, and I can do it here later too if you want)

i didn't know about those, i've never read the bible. i just kept thinking about the famous parable where jesus stops mary magdlene from getting stoned.

anyway people and religions interpret the bible differently and think most people and religions don't interpret the bible literally.

Not if they're turned into "freestyle" shelters.

Also, there'd be DJs.

evangelicals and fundamentalists (the fastest growing kind o christian, DO interpret the Bible literally

there you have my issue. people who claim the Bible is infallible and the word of "god" and all such things, cannot have their cake and eat it too. I know the Bible, and I know that the old testament ios Mosaic/Hebraic law, intended for a specific subset of people, and that jesus changed that, but that still allows for the fallibility and self-correctuion in the bible, which many many fundamentalista nd evangelicals do NOT believe in.

if one believes in the infallibility of the bible then one believes all the harsh and brutal and ricidulous shit in the old testament 100%

picking and choosing which passages to believe in is exactly what those peopel HATE, yet they do it themselves.

no way.

Thee Lard Gawd owes me $20

i do think that in the u.s. there is not enough separation between church and state, and that's something obama probably will not change, he seems to be much more conservative than what most people think him to be.

this is the way the US goes. black men were given the vote long before white or any color women were.

that means that it is now time for a lady pres.

Certainly not China, because they'd have to lend the money that's needed to finance it.
