Would You Read A Book?

[The Knife Thrower]

Would you read a book which:

Discriminates against women
Promotes incest
Discriminates against homosexuals
Is full of contradictory bullshit
Keeps talking about foreskins
Discriminates against victims of castration
Promotes human sacrifice
Says masturbation is wrong
Discriminates against woman having their periods
Condemns non christians to hell
Promotes slavery
Says the Universe was Created in 48026 BCE
And so on

You probably want to stay away from a book like this. Yet if you go to church you have read it. If you send your children to a catholic school they have probably read from it. Good christian parents want their children to read it.

In case you are wondering I am talking about thi bible.

Would you want to read it if you havent?

Hmmmm.....I knew there was a reason I've avoided it. ;)

I hear the movie is gonna be kick-ass though. :D

[MetroStars]

does the bible have pictures in the middle

[Keikan]

No because it would be really thick and heavy worded

[Celerystalksme]

Went to a private catholic school...Was the only athiest there...And all i did in religous studies was draw, write lyrics, do homework from other subjects and catch up on some sleep (and while doing this still maintained a B+ for the subject*...and all up i would of read 5 pages of the bible...I must say the 5 pages i read had nothing like that in them...If they actually did put a half decent movie to it i might consider watching (but then again it would be a 24 hour movie)...So maybe not...


Oh and if you want to listen to a good band that stands up agaisnt organised religion...listen to Corporate Avenger...If you don't like rap/rock genre then just listen to the lyrics....

[mutterings]

Knifethrower good points but you missed out prostitution.wasnt jesus' girlfriend a lady of the night?Also the modern bible was written by a roman who had never met jesus at a time when the romans needed a new faith as their own religions had gone to the dogs.If you want to read what the bible should have been wait for the dead sea scrolls to get fully translated......I am sure they can be downloaded on kazaa if you cant wait for the official version :lol: :lol: :lol:

God: " WHOAAH ! DUDE !.....like, chill my son. Allllriiiight ! High five ! I just called Moses my son ! Far out dude ! " :P

[tite-wad]

I might check out this "bible" you speak of the next time I go to the library......should I look in the fiction section? :rolleyes:

[vivitron 15]

To go back on topic...yeah, i probably would...


I dont know if anyone has heard of, or read the books by David Pelzer. Basically, there are three books which follow his life; they show his struggle to overcome the severe abuse (torture) that his mother put him through as a child (and I mean severe.) It is all entirely true, and some of the things in them made me feel ill. I think that, if there is a good message in a book, then it is worth reading. Just because I read te books about child abuse, certainly doesn't mean i condone it; but the underlying message is incredible. I'd urge everyone to go to the library and get these.

EDIT to add: Sorry for going all serious :)

[ilw]

Keeps talking about foreskins

And it keeps the undivided attention of simple minded fools, regardless of thier belief in it...

Stphen King and Piers Anthony have both written about worse shit and I do not see them getting this kind of attention...

ugh, talk about your dead sea topics...

[bill oddie]

Who is Stphen King, sounds swedish.

[snowultra]

he writes horror books, stphen king.

i would not read a book, that promotes all this crap. mainly because i would lose interest on page 2
