Evil Bible Quotes

Anyone who has read much of the Old Testament - and has a bit of love in their hearts - can understand why the word evil is used to describe some of the ideas found there. The god whose word this is supposed to be commands, demands and suggests the most horrible things. Here are a few examples, along with my commentary. The bible quotes that follow are from the King James Version.

Exodus 22: 18

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Untold numbers of women who were considered unusual have been murdered throughout the ages by good Christians, using this passage as their justification. Some modern day Christians, while no longer willing to do God's work for him, still applauded when Haiti suffered from a huge earthquake in 2010, saying it was punishment for the witchcraft present in their culture.

Exodus 31: 15

Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

It is fortunate that those who believe the bible is the word of God cannot bring themselves to actually obey his word. Stonings for working on the Sabbath are rare these days. Then again, I recall that a few years ago those car dealers who dared to open on Sundays in some cities of the Eastern United States had rocks thrown through their windows.

Leviticus 20: 13

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Sadly, there are some who do follow what is suggested by evil bible quotes like these. Homosexuals are the target of many "loving" Christians, who sometimes even kill them.

Leviticus 20: 15

And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

Now, not many people - Christian or otherwise - are in favor of having sex with animals, but I have to suspect that when it happens the animal is not a consenting partner. It seems strange and unfair that the poor animal should have to be killed because it has been raped by a man.

Leviticus 24: 16

And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him...

Well Goddamn that is evil! Apparently this god has never heard the children's rhyme, "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me."
