[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP, and there are a few posts ascribing things to me I did not make, so let me clear up a few items:

- The title of the thread is "The Bible is an immoral book", and that is the main point I was making, separate from my Atheism.

- I understand that there are many Christians who are not biblical literalists -- that is a GOOD thing, and it enables both Christians and Atheists to agree on that main premise of the thread, that "The Bible is an immoral book".

- It also allow Atheists and Christians to together denounce things like the execrable Franklin Graham who said "As a Christian I believe the Bible which defines homosexuality as sin, something to be repentant of, not something to be flaunted, praised or politicized. The Bible says marriage is between a man & a woman—not two men, not two women." just this week.

- Even non-literalist Christians would admit that fundamentalist Christians are still a significant force in society and speaking out against prejudice and erosion of personal liberties is important.

Happy to clarify or answer any questions beyond the above.[/quote]

I take it this is another thread about the Hebrew bible, the core of Jewish civilization, with its poetry, its epic narrative, and its intricate legal code (which continued to evolve after the closing of the cannon - as G-d expected and wanted, according to the Jewish tradition) from which Jews are implicitly excluded.[/quote]

Please don’t indulge this troll! She has no interest in anything you or anybody else says. She’ll twist it, pretend to misunderstand it, and then claim you don’t have a point. This has been going on long enough. [/quote]

First, you should google "The Streisand Effect".

[b]Second, I appreciate the PP's response, which sounds like another stating the bible should not be taken literally.  I am betting the PP agrees the slavery points (and many others) are highly contradictory to his morals, as they are mine. [/quote][/b]

What are you smoking? I want some of that. The amount of projection and deliberate obfuscation on display in the immediate pp is truly astounding.

Why is anybody still indulging this troll, ffs? [/quote]
