Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.<br /><br /> If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.<br /><br />If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted. (Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT)<br /><br />Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)<br /><br />"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)<br /><br />Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)<br /><br />All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)<br /><br />They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)<br />(goes against my, if you're a good person religion shouldn't matter idea)<br /><br />The list goes on and on and on... That's from The Bible... the book your entire faith is based off of.... I'm not even going to go into the amount of staggering direct contradictions there are in the bible where it will say for example:<br /> (Matthew 6:5-6) Jesus condemned public prayer. (1 Timothy 2:8) Paul encouraged public prayer.<br /><br />From all of my replies, I want to make this point clear. You are a good person. If you were an atheist... You would not magically turn into an asshole... You would still be a good person... and in the end, that's all that should ever matter in life.<br /><br />-Paul RyanAphotic Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083697256370915688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441680938478535850.post-76416150100178539292011-03-20T23:25:06.812-07:002011-03-20T23:25:06.812-07:00Great words bro.
