WHAT DO YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT THE BIBLE?

What is the penalty for working on the Sabbath?
You will be stoned to death. Violent punishment from the “Good Book?” The bible says: “Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whoseoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the Sabbath day.” (Exodus 35:2)

What is God’s name?
JEALOUS ----- This is a petty self-described insecurity from a supposedly all-wise leader. The bible says: “For thou shall worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is “Jealous”, is a jealous God.” (Exodus 34:14)

How should parents treat a stubborn and rebellious son?
He should be stoned to death. The bible says: “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them; Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of the city, and unto the gate of his place, and they shall say unto the elders of his city,this our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice, he is a glutton and a drunkard and all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: So shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.” (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)
“And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.” (Exodus 21:17)

Witches should be killed. – Tragically, tens of thousands, if not millions, of innocent women in Europe and the American colonies were cruelly accused, tortured and executed because of one single verse: “Thou shall not suffer a witch to live.”
(Exodus 22:18)

When the Israelites conquered the Midianites, what part of the spoils of war was given to the priest as “the Lord’s tribute”? Of the 32,000 virgins that were kept alive as “booty” for God’s warriors, 32 young captives were handed over to the priest. The bible brutally sanctifies war crimes against girls and women that continue to this day. Who could possibly respect a dictator who behaves like this?
The bible sayeth: “And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was 675,000 sheep, and 72,000 beeves, and 61,000 asses and 32000 persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him --- of which the Lord’s tribute was 32 persons. And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s heaven offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses. “(Numbers 31:32-41)

According to the bible, what is God not able to do? Repel chariots of iron. Omnipotence?
“And the Lord was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountains; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had chariots of iron.”
(Judges 1:19)

How did Gideon demonstrate his family values?
“And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives. And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.”(Judges 8:30-31)

How many sexual partners did King Solomon have? He had one thousand sexual partners. Another fine example of family values from one of God’s favorites. The bible says:
“But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharoah, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hitites --- and he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines.” (1 Kings 11:1-3)
This lifestyle is never denounced by God, Jesus, or the biblical writers.

What happened to 42 little children who teased God’s prophet Elisha for being bald and he cursed them in the name of the lord? Two bears came of the forest and killed them all. This bloody execution for a childish prank is the work of the God of the bible, an all loving and caring God.
“And he Elisha went up from thence unto Bethel, and as he was going by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, go up thou bald head, and he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. “(11 Kings 2:23-24)

The bible goes on to say:
THAT a woman is worth half a male in terms of money.
THAT if you are handicapped, you are not allowed in church.
THAT according to Jesus, humans should be beaten for disobedience.
THAT Jesus said don’t think that I came for peace on earth. I came to start wars.
THAT women be silent in church.
THAT (in so many words) human beings are sinners, worms, slaves and need not look toward to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

There is much , much more I could add. See other articles I have written under the Label, RELIGEON.
