Proof positive of the absurdity, injustice, intolerance, violence, and other reprehensible behavior propagated in the bible
Just because the bible records "absurdity, injustice, intolerance, violence, and other reprehensible behavior" does not mean that it propagates it.
The Bible is 100x more reliable as historical record than any other document. The first printed books were all bibles, its the original benchmark for literacy.
Most people think the bible says other than what it does, because they have not READ it properly, if even at all.
Most people do not know how to read criticaly from within the spirit of the author's hitorical perspective.
There are dozens of books in the Bible with contrary opions and three dimensional debates.
If you are going to knock it - do so fairly - what other book would you say is better?
let me repeat that -
what other book would you say is better?
