Most of us know are familiar with Numbers 31 17-18 But here is a nasty one from the god of love:
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them. - Jeremiah 19 v 9

I was determined to never indoctrinate my children in religious beliefs. So I told them absolutely nothing about it. My parents were religious, and I allowed them to tell my children whatever they wished. Big mistake. I should have told them more. Now it seems that they are so confused they don't know what to believe, and it's too late. My mom told my daughter that she would become her guardian angel after death, and my daughter believes that. She's 30 now, and I can't undo the damage.
Is it really your personal experience? If yes, I feels very sorry for your mother and sister, and I am glad that you are standing up for them. I have secular parents, but I did not value them when I was a teenager. When I came to the US, I finally understand how valuable secular parents are. Thank you and your wife for being secular parents for your daughter. I am sure that you are having a great family.
2: Because when I little my parents told me about Santa and I said "nuh-uh!" and refused to believe Santa exists until they took me to the mall to meet him. When they told me about God, I told them I didn't believe them and when they took me to his house to meet him, all I saw was other people, I didn't see this "God" person, so I never had any faith and thought my parents were moronic liars.
Heh... just a comment - you do have a little wishful thinking there =) I got a little daughter and my approach is just the same.
Otherwise if you want to point out damaging things for small children to read in the Bible, there's really nowhere to begin. I mean when I was reading about wars and fights as a boy it seemed like simply adventures. But all the rape and genocide and gratuitous fucking that goes on in there.. well I'm happy I wasn't reading that at age 10.
Matthew 5 : 27-30 scarred me for my entire teens and some of my early 20's. I literally believed it, and imagined that "god" was angry with me for being too cowardly to cut off my hands and gouge out my eyes.
For a game I picked up the bible today in front of my christian mother, within about 5 seconds, I found a verse that was about God taking vengeance onto someone who disobeyed his commands. And when I say vengeance, I mean it was shocking and disgusting, it went on for about a page (until I got sick of reading it)
My mother just said the same old stuff that Christians do to explain it away.. That what the OLD law and that doesn't apply because of Jesus... phhh some God.
@truckcompany i still don't get their "Oh Jesus's death negated all of that" excuse. It makes no sense to me, and it wouldn't make sense even if I was theist.
One of the most damaging ideas to young people is the debasing of human value and the concept of sin, especially sexual sin. The one I like least in the context of society is that anyone who doesn't believe what you do is "darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. Eph 4:18"
Well, other than the obvious one of slavery... being taught that Jesus is the personification of love and goodness, then reading the passages where he says 'I come not to bring peace, but the sword' and starts wars. It's like growing up and learning that Santa Claus beats his wife, and the elves are slave laborers.
This is excellent. Simple and to the point. I was brought up like your sister and mom... I tried to be the perfect wife and mother. Divorced in 1998 went to college, graduated in 2004, remarried in 2008 to my very best friend and now rasing my fourth child to think for herself ... be kind to others ... do the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do .. and lastly to love freely w/out judgement or an agenda ... Oh btw watch nonstampcollector - so great.

Easy. Jebus says that you can ask for anything and it will be given to you. This is the same crap they sell in "The Secret" aka "law of attraction". This mind set is damaging because people who accept this are susceptible to confirmation bias and they'll believe anything.
If there are any bible thumpers reading these comments, please try to explain to me where the wives came from, that banged Adam and Eve's boys, Enoch, Cain and Abel. Was it another magic moment? Dirt to flesh maybe? That rib thingy perhaps?
here's a few i found, deuteronomy 23: 1-2. leviticus 21: 9. leviticus 21: 16-23. leviticus 20: 9. the bible is horrible. if only people would open their eyes :( i questioned my mom about some of the horrible scriptures i found, she said thats why we have the new testament, so i asked why does she preach to me about the 10 commandments. She got angry because I questioned her faith and told me i better not be no atheist.
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
I've met a lot of Christians who obviously haven't read this.
I'm just so confused after reading the Bible [currently questioning my faith], how are we not incest if the 1st beings were Adam and Eve? Was it just because Eve was conceived by Adam's rib while he was just nothing but dust?
"If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her." Deuteronomy 22:28-29
So if you got 50 pieces of silver and want to marry the popular girl, here's your way to do it Bible style! And these religious idiots talk about their moral absolutes! HA!
What about the verses in Joshua (?) where some women just can't live without penis and they go to the persians (?) and egyptians (?) who have equipment
"like donkeys"?
Later they are punished with rape , and I think they like it.
What will this section theach to your daughter?
(also: i dont have my bible handy - so if you want to correct me on this one, feel free to)
@MyOldName Great example. I forgot about that part of the story. It get's even worse when you get to verses15-18 when YHWH kills David's son as part of his punishment.
Dont you think that you could've been kinder to your mom and sis? I think that you could have said more than they are/were religious and have pretty sad lives now. I'm sure your mom and sis have good qualities like your wife, like being kind and all, why did you choose to exclude that?
@ambygirl1008 thanks for pointing that out :-) In our society we tend to subconsciously make an unfair assumption that successful business women are selfish and cold. So I felt the need to explicitly say that my wife was nice. My mother and my sister are both very nice, loving people. The point of this story is that they are both victims of the bad ideas that get propogated by holy books and unknowingly reinforced by parents.
Even worse, would be a yes to #2 question and still trying to use the bible as a moral compass and guide to raising the kids. The fucking bible should be off limits to anyone under 18. Hell, maybe even under 30. The best way to escape the delusion of sky daddy worship is to read the bible but it should be read later in life because of it's severe level of misgyny, incest, rape, infanticide, fratricide, genocide, war, slavery endorsement, and many other examples of nasty tripe.
How about any of the virgins as property passages (because, of course, we are to kill all of the women who aren't virgins during a conquest for the lord)?
Did you answer yes on 1 and no on 2, then what are you thinking? I think maybe more importantly than any of the excellent points you make is the fact that you can't truly believe the Bible is the perfect word of God and not read it. Why would you waste your time doing anything but reading it?
You may also ask, how much you could sell your daughter into slavery for? and what is an appropriate price for her when you do this? The bible sanctions selling children into slavery to buy back debts incurred by you. Please point out the idiotic idea that children are property and not beings of their own.
The religious beliefs of over two billion people (christians and jews) sprang from the incestuous relationship between a man and his sister/wife. Abraham and Sarah. Gen 20:12
Nicely done. I would post this to my FB page if I was more courageous, however, many of my female 'friends' and family would be upset with me for even suggesting they are religiously duped. That upset would possibly have a ripple effect concerning my public school teaching position at a bible belt school. If I wasn't so dependent on that paycheck and love of my job, I would not hesitate with posting this. I think many nonbelievers would LOVE to post this but are afraid of backlash.
@meleder In the case of Lot, it's pretty clearly his daughters raping him. You can't really be raped by someone who you intoxicated for the express purpose of having sex with. Still the bible does endorse a hell of a lot of rape.
@embyrr922 Well yeah that's assuming the account of the story was accurate... like all the other accurate things in the bible... lol. But, yes either way that's a hell of a lot of rape no matter how you look at it.
Good video. So many Christians think the bible is this wonderful old book full of wisdom from god, yet many of them haven't really read it. If I'm ever collared by Christians in the street who are ready to quote a bible passage , I tell them to read me Numbers 31. (15-18)
@thefaithcheck on a side note, it deeply saddens me that americans have to pay for their health insurance or for every treatment received. I just don't understand how this can still be the case in your country, how the rich and powerful don't feel morally obliged or able to make the system fairer...
What if your child reads the part where god wants to kill your kid for no particular reason, and then he doesn't, because you would, and the kid gets the idea that you view them as expendable.
Good video although the little break between your four-woman example undermined the the momentum of that particular point. I had to point out the Jepthah's daughter-sacrifice in Judges to my daughter this week as an example of why i don't "love God" like her step-mom. This story shows the cult of Yahweh as revealed in the bible is terribly de-valuing to women.; that poor girl didn't even receive a last minute reprieve from its bloodthirsty appetite, like Abraham's son in a tale the Xians tout.
I imagine very few christians have read the bible from front to back. Apart from it being stultifyingly boring, with repetative and badly written prose, the stories of the various well and little known characters are totally irrelevent to the supposed purpose of the book, i.e. to prove the existence of god, show how to live as god wants you to and ensure your place in heaven.

Apart from it being stultifyingly boring, with repetative and badly written prose, the stories of the various well and little known characters are totally irrelevent to the supposed purpose of the book, i.e. to prove the existence of god, show how to live as god wants you to and ensure your place in heaven.
