"Yes, Mam, we Christians ARE under the worse attack in the United States of America than at any other time in our history. It is frightening!!! I encourage each one of you to memorize as many scriptures as you possibly can because if the current administration is reelected, it is not unrealistic or far-fetched to have our Bibles and other religious books banned or worse, taken from us. I believe with all my heart that this is a very real possibility. Teach your children The Lord's Prayer, 23rd Psalm, the Apostle's Creed and all the Bible Stories!!! We may not have them in written form forever. Missionaries that went into communist East Germany and the USSR found that the grandmothers had taught Bible Stories, Lutheran and Catholic Liturgies for church services and the catechisms to the children from memory in order to keep the Christian faith alive in a country where it was forbidden. God will always provide a way for his word to continue. But be aware, we ARE UNDER ASSAULT!!!"

(25,699 posts)What about the one where Lot's daughters get him drunk and rape him in a cave? After he had offered them to be raped by a mob?
Oh oh, how about God slaughtering every firstborn in the world's largest nation (at the time) because their ruler was sort of a dick?
Wasn't there one about a guy sacrificing his own daughter due to a promise with that same god?
And a story of a concubine being raped to death, then chopped into quarters and sent to the four corners of the earth in order to incite a war?
Every Bible story? Have these people ever read the bible? I'd rather teach my kids the plots to those old "Tales fro mthe Crypt" comic books.

Not the virgin girls, though. They got divvied out to the conquerors along with the livestock. Which gives you an idea of what category they put girls in.
Oh, and God demanded a share of the loot. You might want to bring that up next time someone gets all agitated about Mohammed. I mean, there wasn't any pretense that those girl's fate would be "salvation".

While everyone's attention is focused on the performance of Romney the master debater tomorrow, our Christian enemies will be working behind the scenes on prophylactic measures to thwart our best-laid plans.
At least the discovery that we have a mole has thrust us into an all-out effort to root him out. Thank Satan we have experts like Peter and Johnson and Schlong working on it. They are totally UP for this!
So before you think about making a crude joke next time, just remember the heroes who are doing the hot and sweaty work to bring our mole-hunting efforts to a climax.
Shame on you!

(8,219 posts)I prefer the Babylonian Talmud however, which is what a lot of the Genesis stories are based on.
Like the Adam and Eve story...where Eve came after his first wife Lilith. The were created simultaneously, and supposed to be equals, but Adam was having none of THAT shit. Lilith actually left Adam, after they had an argument over sex. Adam wanted to be on top, but Lilith refused, and she left his chauvinistic ass.
Then Eve, right? Ummm...not exactly. God tried to make Eve V.1 by stitching together bone, blood, muscle tissue and skin in front of Adam...and that kind of grossed Adam out so god tossed her.
Eve V.2 was made after god put Adam to sleep and created her from a rib of Adams. So that's actually his third wife.

(4,407 posts)The lions can de-cloak mid-leap wearing Roman armor. We'll give them something to feel persecuted about.
But seriously, the whole "He dies on the cross" thing, and whenever you point out that The Jesus also said to help the sick, the poor, etc. they yell, "But he suffered and died on the cross!" So all his current followers get to share in that persecution, regardless of the fact that they haven't been persecuted in a damn long time, and not in this country. While at the same time, they're persecuting other people.
lindysalsagal
(20,692 posts)He told me so, himself.
Xolodno
(6,395 posts)...the fact they are no longer persecuted and have to make up persecutors in order to justify themselves? They got the peace and dominance they always wanted.....but now realize, they could be in the wrong for being in the dominat....so they make up monsters.
Its the same in any dominate religion influenced government...they get what they want...and suddenly realize according to their own texts...they are the enemy. So they exagerate and imangine persecution wher there is none.
Maybe that's why Christ more or less advocated "giving Ceasar unto what is Ceasars"...or in plain terms....keep religon the fuck out of politics and government affairs.

Someone saying that you do not have the right to deny a woman the choice of what happens to her own body is NOT the same as someone persecuting you.
Someone saying that you do not have the right to plaster symbols of your faith all over public buildings that are meant for everybody regardless of their faith (or lack thereof) is NOT the same as someone persecuting you.
