Let’s say you had never heard of or read the Bible. Someone gives it to you for you to read, & to read to your children. Upon reading, you read about a man being made from dirt, a woman being made from a bone of that man. A talking snake that tells you to eat an apple.
You read about a man that has powers, whom is referred to as God, who allows rape, slavery, the sex trade, & murder. The act of murder is rampant in this book you have been given. There are laws that command that people be killed for absurd reasons such as working on the Sabbath, being gay, cursing your parents, or not being a virgin on your wedding night.
In addition to these crazy & immoral laws, there are plenty of examples of God's irrationality by his direct killing of many people for reasons that defy any rational explanation such as killing children who make fun of bald people, the killing of a man who tried to keep the ark of God from falling during transport. There are also countless examples of mass murders commanded by God, including the murder of women, infants, and children.
He allows a man named Moses & his army to kill all boys, including infants & just let the little young girls live. Who knows what they did with those little girls. So these passages basically allowed murder and left all the virgins to themselves whom they obviously slept with.
People are forced into labor, basically becoming slaves. If they do not comply they are all killed accept the women & children. The women are the spoils of war & as the passages state, the men enjoy them. Another massacre & more raping.
You read of a pit of Fire that was made for you & others if you didn’t do what this God told you to do. You would have to spend eternity in this pit, burning, if you didn’t obey him.
I’ve touched on very little of this book called a Bible, but you get the idea. Would you read this book to your children or allow your older children to read it? Would you believe what's written in this book? Would you fall in love with this God, worship him & desire to obey his every command because he told you to? Or would you throw this book away & not give it another thought?
