More Offensive Bible Quotes

Here are some more offensive bible quotes that demonstrate just how horrible the god of the Old Testament is. My commentary, including a suggestion as to what to do about this malevalent diety, follows each biblical excerpt. These come from the King James version of the Bible.

Numbers 15: 32 - 36

And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Offensive bible quotes like this not only show the violence and hatefulness of the god of The Old Testament, but also the potential evil it promotes. According to the story, the people actually stoned the poor man to death for collecting firewood on the wrong day. Fortunately, most who believe these are the words of God are no longer willing to follow his words - but some still do.

Leviticus 21: 16 - 18

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.

For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous...

God goes on to say that dwarfs, as well as those who are hunchbacked, or with crippled feet or hands or other physical handicaps, should not be allowed in church, "that he profane not my sanctuaries," as the good father in the sky says.

Joshua 6: 2-3

And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.

And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

God goes on to describe how they are to destroy the city, and that is what they do, but not out of self defense or anything like that. In fact, verse 21 says, "And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword." Somehow, I suspect that whatever complaint they had against some in Jericho, the children - and most others - were entirely innocent.

What can we say about the god of the Old Testament? The list of offensive bible quotes like these could go on for many pages, and they paint a picture of a being that desires to do great evil. If such a god were to exist, good men would seek to kill him.
