Yes, all people who are stupid and evil are causing all the horrible suffering that you mention.

[PadmoreMusic]

Here's a fun* game: Name one person who was killed in the name of Santa Claus.

*Mileage may vary.

[Johhny E]

So, what are the other "handful" of antiquated verse's? Does the law of killing your neighbor if they work on the Sabbath still apply? What about the law that a rapist has to marry his victim and pay her dad? Or any of the other many random things passages like Leviticus tells you is bad (which most are) and usually punishable by death? These passages tell you to kill your kids if they don't listen to you, that you can't trim your beard, can't have tattoos and many other stupid useless things...

[SurgicalGrind87]

Care to elaborate?

[AKABoondock19]

And you know this because you know the 5000 people who have been translating over the last couple thousand years? get real.

[Pomme843]

But you do get it, right? Surely you have the esoteric insight to understand the Bible's true meaning. Surely you have the correct interpretation, right?

[1980Triumph]

Critics of the Bible usually don't know anything about it, but rather sound bytes. There are some wacky translations but for the most part the translations are pretty solid. People don't want to understand it and they certainly do not get it.

THE DUMBEST THING I EVER HEARD

[Crinklepouch]

watch?v=6ly1UTgiBXM ... and in this instance, I'm pretty sure he was being ironically hyperbolic, not that it's an excuse to misuse it.

[kissfan7]

I lost a tiny, tiny bit of respect for David when he totally misused "literally".

[Joe Sleight]

He's read the Bible before. And verses*.

[clayounderwood]

lol, david cross is a busy and important man, doubt dude's had time to read the good book. Some of the versus in the book are no longer applicable today. As the comedic actor points out, it is an antiquated book. There are a handful of versus that don't really apply today. hahaha, actually you can see them all if you read the comments to this video. ie, slaving is no longer a mainstream economic market. As western countries realized the injuustice- african slavers became cut off from revenue...
