Weird Shit From The Bible!

but if he enjoys it, she is unclean, and to be stoned.

weirdest thing to me is how you have read enough of the book to come up with these.

If you read the Bible early and often in your life, you are probably a believer. If you wait until you became an adult with critical thinking skills and then read the Bible, you are probably a strong unbeliever

In my case, I read the Bible because I wanted to investigate the religion because my wife subscribed to it at the time. I didn't like what I saw, so here we are.

BTW, Mike, want to thank you for having a link to the Skeptic's Annotated Bible on the site -- flat-out dead fuckin' hilarious! Is there anywhere where you can buy a hardcopy version? I have a friend whose birthday is coming up.

I was flipping through Leviticus today for some reason, and I noticed a BIG contradicton, in the sections about unclean foods.

First, it says only to eat land animals that have fully split hooves and that chew the cud. Later, it says that all animals of the land are unclean. So... how does that work?

Probably different contexts, or something like 'all animals of the land are unclean but if you had to eat one of those...'

Don't tell me you managed to dissuade her from her religion!

There was no campaign to do so. We had a nice arrangement worked out where I wouldn't try to convert her, she wouldn't try to convert me, the kids would go to Sunday School with her, and I would be free to tell them what I think of religious dogma the other 6 days of the week.

But over time, due to her own research, she ended up dropping the religion. To be more specific, she tried to research the historical origins of the Bible; who wrote it, who collected the manuscripts, how it was assembled, who decided what would be in and what wouldn't, etc. And after doing this research, she decided she could not follow this book any more.

That was when my anti-creationism site went up. I sort of "held back" on that while she was still a churchgoer.

Your wife used to be a creationist?

speaking of Leviticus

Lev,5:3
Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty

what the hell is 'uncleaness of man', the bible doesn't say and the SAB doesn't either

Apparently, this is best translated with a pseudo-British accent...

Lev. 5:3 "Or if he rubs the man's filthy bits, whatever filthy bits that might be what gets his bits filthy, and then the other bloke hides his filthy bits; when he figures out he touched the other chap's filthy bits, he'll feel quite the shite after."

you'd think they'd be less vague, after the 9 chapters of 'how to kill livestock for God'

The Bible tends to be more graphic with gore than with "filthy bits", I've noticed.
