Lies of the Bible

The Bible is full of many historical, moral and spiritual errors, or should I say… lies. Anyone capable of logical reasoning knows that the flood never happened. But, still let me provide some evidence so that one or two Christians who were blinded by so-called “faith” may be brought to the right path.

The Flood never took place

The ethical argument- If humanity really became as evil as the Bible describes it, a merciful God should have tried to reform the humans. Instead, he decided to kill all the animals and humans leaving only a few. This madness is something a lover of God can never accept. Even if the people were so evil that they deserved death, what about the children and the animals? 

The scientific argument- Our planet has many species of animals and Noah couldn’t have taken so many of them on his boat. He would also need a refrigerating system to keep the polar bears and penguins in cold, and a heater to keep the camels in heat. Also, Noah wouldn’t be able gather so many creatures living in different parts of the world in such a short time. Plus, no scientist has ever found any evidence of such a big flood taking place.

The logical argument: If the people were really so evil, God could have killed those people by using hungry lions, bears and such. That would not only be easier and save a lot of time, but also save the innocent children and animals. So, if an orthodox Christian insists that the Flood took place, he is calling his own God a fool. 

Science or Church? Choose ONLY ONE.

Anyone who says that science is compatible with the Bible should join politics. The Bible is nothing but the No. 1 enemy of Science, and anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or a fool. Take a look at the first chapter and you will see garbage like the Christian God creating plants before creating the Sun. It says that there is water above the sky which is scientifically wrong. So, anyone capable of logical reasoning would throw their Bibles into the dustbin and rely on their science books instead. But, some wise people may need to keep a Bible with them, to prove its errors and inconsistencies.

List of brilliant scientific facts:

Let’s take a look at some of the brilliant scientific facts in the Bible.

The Sun moves round the Earth-

Psalms 19: 5: It comes out in the morning like a happy bridegroom, like an athlete eager to run a race. It starts at one end of the sky and goes across to the other.

The stars are small objects that can be thrown out of the sky and can be stomped upon-

Daniel 8: 10: It grew strong enough to attack the army of heaven, the stars themselves, and it threw some of them to the ground and trampled on them.

The earth doesn’t move-

Psalms 93: 1: The Earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.

Sea monsters exist -

Psalms 147: 7: Praise the Lord from the earth, sea-monsters and all ocean depths…

I feel pity for those so-called Christians who still believe the Bible to be literally true. There is simply no limit to their madness.  Now, I just hope they will not tell me to “prove” that sea-monsters don’t exist. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Now, some orthodox Christians, in order to defend their religion will say that the Bible is not taken literally anymore. But, that’s my whole point! You shouldn’t take the Bible literally. If you don’t take the story of creation literally, why not do the same with others stories like the one of The Resurrection? Christians always pick and choose from the Bible which parts to take literally and which parts to not, and which parts to obey and which parts to not. So, what’s really the point of following such a book and calling it God’s word? It’s plain madness.

There is no use arguing with the fact that there is literally nothing to learn from the Bible. Show me one thing new that the Bible can teach me and I will buy you a new car. There are some inspiring passages but there is nothing to learn. Not even about morality. Plus, our morality comes from our own sense of justice, not the Bible. Even orthodox Christians, deep down, know that. If an injured man is lying in the middle of the street, an orthodox Christian may go to help him, not because the Bible says so, but because it is his duty. Still, he argues otherwise. There are some weak people who may need a guide to develop a sense of morality. The Bible obviously wouldn’t be a good guide for them. Just get them some simple books of morality, and that’s all you need to do.

Even if there is no God, it is our duty as human beings to help the poor and protect the innocent. Only a fool needs commands from scripture to help a needy human being.

Blessed are the merciful.

Buddhism vs Christianity

There are some so-called Christians who claim that Buddhism is a false religion and Christianity is the only religion that has ever existed. I don’t understand how people can be so narrow-minded. Therefore, I believe orthodox Christianity is the worst religion that has ever infected the world. I know not all Christians are like this, but most are. They are intolerant towards other religions, and believe the whole Bible to be literally true, though it is full of self-contradictions and inconsistencies. 

Christians describe their God as loving and compassionate and they say that Jesus was perfect. But, that is incorrect. There were very few men in history who were perfect, and it was Lord Buddha who was one of them, not Jesus.

First, let’s make a comparison between Buddha and the Christian God.

Anger management problems

The Christian God, as described in the Bible is very short-tempered and can’t control his anger. Take a look at the passage below for one of the hundreds of examples:

Isaiah 30: 30: The Lord will let everyone hear his majestic voice and feel the force of his anger.

Just imagine how short-tempered he must be to let everyone feel his anger just because a few were supposedly disobedient. 

Lord Buddha was always calm and patient. He was never angry. Not even when others tried to provoke him. Lord Buddha, unlike the Christian God, even treated his enemies with respect. 

Poor sense of justice

The Christian God seems to have a poor sense of justice. No one got the punishment he/she deserved. People, who deserved to be punished, were not. And people, who didn’t deserve to be, were. 

Instead of showing pity, the Christian God commands people to stone a rape victim to death along with the rapist, if she didn’t scream, while she was being raped. See Deuteronomy 22: 23- 24.

Now, as for rapists, instead of getting punishment, get to marry their rape victims. See Deuteronomy 22: 28- 29. This law was invented probably to make it easier for young ruffians to grab wives at an early age. If they liked a girl, all the needed to do was to rape her, and she was all theirs.

But, the Buddha had a strong sense of justice, but still, he didn’t judge criminals. He forgave criminals and did his best to bring them into the right path. Plus, no matter what the crime is, stoning someone to death is something the Buddha would never have approved.

Love

Many orthodox Christians claim that if you don’t believe in Jesus, you are going to hell. Is this the sign of a loving and compassionate God? No matter what the crime is, no one deserves hell for eternity. The idea is too disgusting. How can a god who is supposedly compassionate let a righteous person burn in hell for not believing in, or not hearing about Jesus? 

Unlike the Christian God, the Buddha showed unconditional love, not only to his followers, but also his enemies. He reformed his enemies with love and taught them the way of the truth.

Blood Sacrifices

Many parts of the Bible say that the Christian God loves animal sacrifices. In some passages he is also shown to approve human sacrifice. It is a sign of a malevolent god. Some prophets like Isaiah spoke against animal sacrifice. But, orthodox Christians ignore such passages and continue saying that the Christian God loved blood sacrifices and that his thirst for blood was appeased by Jesus who offered his own blood. Such a god would be a monster. Therefore, I believe that such a god doesn’t exist. 

Lord Buddha taught people to have love for all creatures. He rejected animal sacrifices. 

Conclusion

I don’t think I need to compare Jesus with Buddha, now. Of course, Jesus was a great man, but he can’t be equal to Buddha, because even he got angry many times in the Bible, and even scolded his followers multiple times.

Anyone capable of logical reasoning can now understand who is better: Yahweh, or Lord Buddha. I also sometimes wonder why people worship a god who is infected with the very mental diseases (like anger and jealousy) which we are trying to overcome. I personally don’t believe in such a Yahweh’s existence. I believe that there is only one God, who is “truly” loving and compassionate towards all creatures, and orthodox Christians should worship Him instead.

Blessed are the merciful.

Damages caused by Christianity

There is one thing for which I have a lot of respect for Jesus. He put an end to the animal sacrifices in the land of Israel and its nearby countries once and for all. His life also inspired many people to have compassion for all creatures and follow a vegetarian diet. But, unlike Jesus, orthodox Christianity is the enemy of humanity and our environment. Let me make a list of five damages orthodox Christians have done:

Killing of trees: The Bible is the book with the highest number of copies across the world. Even though most Christians don’t read it, they buy it just to decorate it in their houses or pockets and to “show off” their Christianity. The Bible also doesn’t have any moral or spiritual value, and is just a waste of paper. So, just imagine how many trees have been cut just in order to produce the Bible copies. Plus, so many Christians don’t even read it. Many Christian libraries have uncountable Bibles that no one reads. There simply is no justification for killing billions of trees to produce a stupid and sick book which no one will read.

Food and money wastage: Orthodox Christians hold parties on Christmas, the supposed birthday of Christ. While around a billion people and animals are starving across the world, they waste so much food on partying. Note that Christmas is an international festival, and the amount of food and money people waste on this festival will be uncountable. Plus, what’s annoying is that they waste this money for nothing, because 25^th December is actually a pagan celebration. Contrary to popular assumption, it is not the birthday of Jesus Christ.

Hindering scientific progress and development: The Bible is the No. 1 enemy of science and technology. It has been nothing but an obstacle for scientific research. Many scientists of ancient times were afraid to talk about their research because it went against the Bible and they would be punished. Out of them, those who dared to talk about their scientific theories were punished and killed by the Church. There are still many Christians who believe every word in the Bible to be absolute. Such fools still believe that the Earth is flat and it doesn’t move even though science has proved otherwise.

Plagiarism: Believe it or not, orthodox Christianity has derived almost all of its stories from other religions. Many stories in the Bible have been stolen from Hindu mythology. The story of the virgin birth is obviously stolen from some pagan mythologies. And the concept of God and Satan has obviously been stolen from Zoroastrianism. Stupid Christian apologists may say that it was Zoroastrianism who copied their concept. But, that’s rubbish. Zoroastrianism was founded long before the Bible was compiled. The way of the Trinity has likely been stolen from pagan Hinduism. The Hindu Trinity consists of three gods- Brahma (creator), Vishnu (supervisor) and Shiva (destroyer). (Note that only some polytheistic Hindus believe in the Trinity, not all.) Hinduism is the oldest religion and it would be foolish to claim that it has stolen or derived anything from other religions. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have been copied from original gospels like the Gospel of the Holy Twelve, the long lost original gospel. Jesus never claimed to be God, but this concept of incarnation too was stolen from Hinduism. Almost nothing in the Bible is original. Most have been copy-pasted from other books and they claim it to be the absolute word of God. Really funny, isn’t it? If the Bible were to be written today, I am sure they would even add Harry Potter into it. Some may even think of adding characters like Superman, Batman and Spiderman into the Bible. “Superman believed in Jesus, and so he got his powers!” Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Wrong historical information: The Bible gives us four different stories about the same Jesus. Which one do we follow? Plus, many stories are false. Many historians have confirmed that the exodus never happened. No evidence has been found in Egypt that the Exodus ever happened. Christian apologists claim that all the evidence was erased because it was embarrassing for Egypt. But, that’s incorrect. At least, some evidence always remains and in this case, there is simply no evidence. If the Israelites really escaped from Egypt, there would have been a big population decline in Egypt. But, there was no such decline. It is interesting to note that only the Bible and the Jewish scriptures talk about the exodus. Reading the Bible carefully confirms that the story of the exodus was invented to force people to worship Yahweh. Even if the exodus did happen, we are 100% sure that it didn’t happen as the Bible describes it.

These five are some of the examples of atrocities of orthodox Christianity. This list can go on and on, but for now, this is all.

Blessed are the merciful.

The Bible vs. the Koran

As long as people believe in absurdities, they will commit atrocities. –Voltaire

The Bible vs. the Koran

I can’t say there are no self-contradictions or inconsistencies in the Koran. But, I have to say that the Koran is a lot better than the Bible. In Bible, we have the story of Abraham, whose god told him to sacrifice his son as an act of worship, but told him at the last moment that it was only a test. This story really is very bloody and cruel. The Koran presents the same story in a different way. It says that Abraham, in a dream, saw himself sacrificing his son. In other words, he was probably inspired by Satan to commit the crime of murdering his own son. But, Allah intercepted him at the last moment and told him not to kill his son. It is also unlikely that a god who commands, “Thou shall not kill” would command you to kill your little son.

Unlike the Bible, the Koran doesn’t talk about bloody animal and human sacrifices. It only talks about the relationship of humans with God. 

More about madness in orthodox Christianity

As Voltaire said, since orthodox Christianity is full of absurdities, it is the religion that has committed the largest number of atrocities. Orthodox Christianity has always been and will always be the enemy of science and civilization. It has punished people for saying universal truths like the Earth is round.

Orthodox Christians claim that there is a lot of “proof” that supports their doctrines. That’s nonsense. Their “proofs” are like this-

Someone says that elves exist. You say that they don’t.

He says that the elves cause rain. You don’t reply.

It starts raining. He says, “Look, it is raining. I told you elves exist.”

It is also funny that every Christian sect thinks that their god is on their side. They don’t know that either the Christian god doesn’t exist, or the Bible has wrongly described him. Burning in hell forever just because you didn’t believe in or didn’t hear about Jesus? Such malevolent blasphemy!

In this article, I am going to discuss a lot of important falsehoods in Christianity. Let’s start by taking a look at another list of self-contradictions.

 

Question number 1- Does the Christian god change his mind?

Numbers 23: 19: God is not like men, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind.

Exodus 32: 14: So the Lord changed his mind and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

Question number 2- Is God ready to help us when we are in trouble?

Psalms 46: 1: God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help us in times of trouble.

Psalms 10: 1: Why are you so far away, O Lord? Why do you hide yourself when we are in trouble?

Question number 3- Can rich people become Christians?

Matthew 27: 57: When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea arrived; his name was Joseph, and he also was a disciple of Jesus.

Luke 6: 24: But how terrible for you who are rich now; you have had your easy life!

Question number 4- Is it okay to eat food offered to idols?

Acts 15: 29: Eat no food that has been offered to idols.

1 Corinthians 8: 8: Food, however, will not improve our relations with God; we shall not lose anything if we do not eat, nor shall we gain anything if we do eat.

Question number 5:  For how long were the Hebrews kept in Egypt?

Exodus 12: 41: On the day the 430 years ended, all the tribes of the Lord’s people left Egypt.

Acts 7: 6: This is what God said to Abraham, “Your descendants will live in a foreign country, where they will be slaves and will be badly treated for four hundred years.”

Question number 6: Did Jesus teach violence?

Luke 22: 36: Whoever has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.

Matthew 5: 39: If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, let him slap your left cheek too.

Question number 7- Does wisdom make us happy?

Proverbs 3: 13: Happy is the man who becomes wise- who gains understanding.

Ecclesiastes 1: 18: The wiser you are, the more worries you have; the more you know; the more it hurts.

Question number 8- Do other gods exist?

Exodus 18: 11: Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods, because he did this when the Egyptians treated the Israelites with such contempt.

Deuteronomy 4: 39: The Lord is God in heaven and on earth. There is no other god. 

Question number 9- Does Yahweh’s anger last forever?

Psalms 103: 9: He does not keep on rebuking; he is not angry forever.

Jeremiah 17: 4: My anger is like a fire and it will burn forever.

Question number 10- Do the righteous suffer like the wicked?

Ecclesiastes 9: 2: A good man is no better off than a sinner.

Proverbs 12: 21: Nothing bad happens to righteous people, but the wicked have nothing but trouble.

I am sure that if all orthodox Christians read my lists about self-contradictions and inconsistencies in the Bible, many of them will realize how they were blinded by false doctrines and will leave Christianity. But, I don’t want that. Instead of rejecting Christianity, I want them to reject the Bible or at least stop calling the Bible a word of God. The Bible is nothing more than a pathetic attempt of the ancient Jews and Christians to create a book of morality. In today’s world, if anyone tries to justify their actions using the Bible, they are either hypocrites or fools.

The stupid story of creation- Part 2

Genesis 1: 11- 13: Then he commanded, “Let the earth bear produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit”- and it was done. So the earth produced all kinds of plants, and God was pleased with what he saw. Evening passed and morning came- that was the third day.

Note that the sun has not been created yet. Only orthodox Christians can understand how the plants survived without the help of a sun. Scientists can’t.

Genesis 1: 14- 19: Then God commanded, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from night and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals begin; they will shine in the sky to give light to the earth”- and it was done. So God made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the night; he also made the stars. He placed the lights in the sky to shine on the earth, to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God was pleased with what he saw. Evening passed and morning came- that was the fourth day.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. So, all the stars exist just in order to provide light for the earth. All I can say is that it would have been more convenient if Yahweh didn’t make them so far away from our planet.

Genesis 1: 21- 23: Then God commanded, “Let the water be filled with many kinds of living beings, and let the air be filled with birds.” So God created the great sea-monsters, all kinds of creatures that live in the water, and all kinds of birds. And God was pleased with what he saw. He blessed them all and told the creatures that live in the water to reproduce, and to fill in the sea, and he told the birds to increase in number.  Evening passed and morning came. That was the fifth day.

If he really is so powerful, why did he need to tell the birds and sea animals to reproduce to increase their numbers? He could have created lots of them himself!

Laughing is good for your health. But, sometimes, laughing too much can kill. So, I will have to stop this story here.

Orthodox Christianity has used nothing but cheap lies to spread their madness and false propagandas. So, the best weapon against them is the truth. Truth is also the very weapon orthodox Christians are afraid of. We can reveal the truth to the world and let them die in embarrassment.

Blessed are the merciful.

A book of self-contradictions

We already know that majority of the Bible is plain hypocrisy, madness and self-contradictions. Even though there are mountains of irrefutable evidence to support this claim, orthodox Christians are hardly convinced that they shouldn’t follow the Bible. Now, don’t get the wrong idea about what I am saying. I am not asking you to leave Christianity. I understand that you have the right to be a Christian, but what I am trying to do is make you understand that you are wrong.

Now, I am going to list some more Biblical self-contradictions. I hope you all enjoy this list.

Question number 1: Is having a good reputation wrong?

Proverbs 22: 1: If you have to choose between a good reputation and great wealth, choose a good reputation.

Luke 6: 26: How terrible when all people speak well of you…

Question number 2: Are Christians supposed to worry about providing for family?

Luke 18: 29- 30: “I assure you that anyone who leaves home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the Kingdom of God will receive much more in this present age and eternal life in the age to come.”

Timothy 5: 8: If anyone does not take care of his relatives, especially the members of his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Question number 3- Is it okay to drink wine?

Proverbs 20: 1: Drinking too much makes you loud and foolish. It’s stupid to get drunk.

Deuteronomy 14: 26: Spend it on whatever you want- beef, lamb, wine…

Question number 4- Is it okay to address your father as “Father”?

Matthew 15: 4: Respect your father and mother.

Matthew 23: 9: And you must not call anyone here on earth “Father”, because you have only the one Father in heaven.

Question number 5- Who killed Goliath?

1 Samuel 17: 50: And, so, without a sword, David defeated and killed Goliath with a catapult and a stone!

2 Samuel 21: 19: Elhanan son of Jair from Bethlehem killed Goliath from Gath…

Historical contradictions, Spiritual contradictions, Moral contradictions, the Bible is the book with the highest number of contradictions. I pity those who are still not convinced so. Anyone who still believes in the Bible is either a fool or he is doing so because he is being forced by his parents, or maybe because he works in the church and doesn’t want to lose his job. Thankfully, the number of orthodox Christians is dying which means that people are slowly coming out of the world of stupid delusions.

The stupid story of creation- Part 1

Now, let’s take a look at the first part of the story of creation in Genesis and know how crazy it is.

Genesis 1: 1- 2: In the beginning, when God created the universe, the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the power of God was moving over the water.

If the earth was formless and desolate…… where the hell did this water hover over? And how can something be Formless? Shouldn’t it read: the earth was round, and empty?

Genesis 1: 3: Then God commanded, “Let there be light”- and light appeared.

Okay, wait a minute… If there was no light previously then how did he know that the earth was formless, or empty?

Genesis 1: 4- 5: God was pleased with what he saw. Then he separated the light from the darkness, and he named the light “Day” and the darkness “Night”. Evening passed and morning came- that was the first day.

So, dawn, dusk and afternoon were created much later? Why isn’t it mentioned so, then?

Genesis 1: 6- 8: Then God commanded, “Let there be a dome to divide the water and to keep it in two different places”- and it was done. So God made a dome, and it separated the water under it from the water above it. He named the dome “Sky”. Evening passed and morning came- that was the second day.

Wait, so do you really expect me to believe that there is water above the sky and that’s where all the rain comes from? Laughable!

Genesis 1: 9: Then God commanded, “Let the water below the sky come together in one place, so that the land will appear”- and it was done.

Hmm, so if this is how everything went, then there must have been one island at the beginning? Wonder why the Bible doesn’t explain how this single island became so many continents.

Genesis 1: 10: He named the land “Earth” and the water which had come together he named “Sea”. And God was pleased with what he saw.

Yahweh may be pleased, but I certainly am not pleased at this stupid and childish story of creation. 

This story will be continued in my next article. Look forward to it.

Blessed are the merciful.

Biblical justice

Today, we know that our laws are flawed. But, compared to the Biblical laws, they are hundred times better. In this article, we will look at how the Bible says justice should be done. I will begin with the Ten Commandments.

Commandment 1 (Exodus 20: 3) says- Worship no god but me.

Christians will proudly cite this commandment in front of polytheists, but they will try to hide the punishment that the Bible commands on those who worship other gods. Take a look-

Deuteronomy 17: 2- 5: Suppose you hear that in one of your towns some man or woman has sinned against the Lord and broken his covenant by worshipping and serving other gods or the sun or the moon or the stars, contrary to the Lord’s command. If you hear such a report, then investigate it thoroughly. If it is true that this evil thing happened in Israel, then take that person outside the town and stone him to death.

A severe punishment for a small crime, don’t you think so? Now, let’s continue to the other commandments.

Commandment 2 (Exodus 20: 4) says- Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth.

Now, let us take a look at the punishment for breaking this commandment.

Deuteronomy 27: 15: God’s curse on anyone who makes an idol of stone, wood or metal and secretly worships it; the Lord hates idolatry.

Commandment 3 (Exodus 20: 7) says- Do not use my name for evil purposes, for I, the Lord your God, will punish anyone who misuses my name.

I am sure the punishment for breaking this commandment will be shocking for anyone, especially for people who always believed in the Ten Commandments.

Leviticus 24: 16: Any Israelite or any foreigner who curses the Lord shall be stoned to death by the whole community.

Commandment 4 (Exodus 20: 8) says- Observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.

And, those who don’t…

Exodus 31: 15: Whoever does any work on the Sabbath is to be put to death.

Commandment 5 (Exodus 20: 12) says- Respect your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land I am giving you.

Isn’t respecting one’s parents a matter of common sense?

Exodus 20: 17: Whoever curses his father or his mother is to be put to death. 

Commandment 6 (Exodus 20: 13) says- Do not commit murder.

Murder is the worst kind of crime. I personally believe that some murderers may be forgiven, but anyway, let’s take a look at what the Bible commands.

Exodus 21: 12: Whoever hits a man and kills him is to be put to death.

Commandment 7 (Exodus 20: 14) says- Do not commit adultery.

I believe sexual behavior is not a part of religion, but it is a matter of social common sense. But the Bible’s punishment is unbelievable as usual.

Deuteronomy 22: 22: If a man is caught having intercourse with another man’s wife, both of them are to be put to death. In this way you will get rid of this evil.

Commandment 8 (Exodus 20: 15) says -Do not steal.

The punishment for stealing may not be death, but the killing of a thief has been approved.

Exodus 22: 4: If a thief is caught breaking into a house at night and is killed, the one who killed him is not guilty of murder.

Commandment 9 (Exodus 20: 16) says- Do not bear false witness.

Even disobeying this commandment requires a terrible punishment.

Proverbs 19: 9: No one who tells lies in court can escape punishment; he is doomed.

Commandment 10 (Exodus 20: 17) says- Do not desire another man’s house; do not desire his wife, his slaves, his cattle, his donkeys, or anything else that he owns.

This commandment is just the same as Commandment 7 and Commandment 8 combined. So, the punishment remains the same. Let me give another example though.

Exodus 22: 1: If a man steals a cow or a sheep and kills it or sells it, he must pay five cows for one cow and four sheep for one sheep.

So, now you know the truth about the Ten Commandments, don’t you? Orthodox Christians talk about love, compassion and mercy, but not even a single commandment does. 

So, if you are an orthodox Christian, next time you think you are going to try to force those commandments down someone’s throat, think again. If you are not a Christian, then if some hypocritical orthodox Christian tries to force the Ten Commandments on you, simply link him/her to this page. Now, let’s look at some more Biblical laws that may be offensive to us, but are “laws of God” for orthodox Christians.

Is it okay for Christians to sell their daughters as slaves?

Yes, because Yahweh himself says so. All they need to do is follow some “rules”.

Exodus 21: 7- 8: If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she is not to be set free, as male slaves are. If she is sold to someone who intends to make her his wife, but he doesn’t like her, then she is to be sold back to her father; her master cannot sell her to foreigners, because he has treated her unfairly.

If someone kills his slave, what should be done?

Exodus 21: 20: If a man takes a stick and beats his slave, whether male or female, and the slave dies on the spot, the man is to be punished. But, if the slave does not die for a day or two, the master is not to be punished. The loss of his property is punishment enough.

Wow, Yahweh himself has declared that slaves are nothing more than property. Also, there seems to be no logic in this law. If the slave doesn’t die immediately, the man is not to be punished. Why? In fact, the man should be punished more because he made the slave die a slow death.

Is it okay for Christians to kill their relatives if they worship a different god?

Deuteronomy 13: 6- 10 justifies the killing of anyone, even relatives who worships any other god that Yahweh.

After marriage, if a girl is not found to be a virgin, what should be done?

Deuteronomy 22: 13-21 says that she should be stoned to death. What a pity! Also, it is interesting to note that the same doesn’t apply for a man.

Is it okay for Christians to offer their daughters as a sacrifice to their god?

Judges 11: 29- 40 says that Yahweh accepted Jephthah’s daughter as a sacrifice. Even though Yahweh didn’t command the sacrifice, neither did he disapprove, nor did he show any pity for the poor girl.

What a cruel and malevolent god Yahweh is. Yet, orthodox Christians think of him as loving and compassionate and even force others to worship such a monstrous god. In today’s world, I believe that anyone who forces others to adopt a different religion should be punished by the law.

Blessed are the merciful.
