Lmao cringe soapboxing. Your position is the Bible is simply a book promoting slavery, rape, and genocide. Can you reconcile why it has also inspired movements against slavery, for civil rights, and for charity. Do you think describing something in the Bible is the same as endorsing it? And how do you distinguish between laws given to ancient Israel and moral principles Christians believe apply today? Feels like the kind of statement an edgy 16 year old with the inability/inexperience to understand historic, cultural or theologic context would make. Yes, I recognize this is Lemmy and I’ll heavily be in the minority with any opinion that isn’t “religion bad”.
People cherry pick the bible. Yes, the deity of the bible explicitly advocates for rape, slavery, and murder in the bible. Not only does it describe it, it advocates for it. It’s not my job to distinguish between bullshit laws in the bible and today’s laws. That is a christian problem they need to ask themselves. I for one, do not take what the bible says seriously. I’m just stating that it’s not what people make it out to be. It’s not good.
If you want to debate, I’ll do you one better. Listen to the atheist experience 30.27. They talk about this very topic. They have the bible verses you want. I don’t feel googling bible verses for you and debating you. Maybe call them and defend your faith as instructed to you by 1 Peter 3:15 (I remember that). It’s a call in show. I always enjoy listening to people try to defend slavery, rape, murder and their deity.
