"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners"
"Thus says the Lord: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house. I will take your wives [plural] while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight. "
"When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house. But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captive's garb.After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her"
if i said the same things that you say about god and instead I said "ralph" instead of 'god' you wouldnt listen to a word i said. you would think i was a kook.
If i told you I talk to god every morning, you would praise me for it. if i said every morning i clasped my hands together and prayed to "ralph" youd lock me up and throw away the key.
"As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, and other plunder. enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you."
Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. (James 5:14-15 ASV)
"Please tell me why you dismiss Christian belief as "fairy tales"."
personally, i cannot accept something that appears to have been just made up to solve our questions. Weve seen how other societies have created their religions...so what makes christianity different?
"You're generalising. Christians usually try to harmonise science and faith"
usually, but you and i both know...there are still many that do not.
"Those responses the teacher gave those pupils were laughable, as were the actions of the grown up surgeons. "
not that i fully agree with this video...but these things do and have happened. Things like the burning of that evolution drawing in dover, or the branding of students with crosses. Sure, the video is an exaggeration, but it makes a clear statement.

Nah, we wouldn't lock you up. We'd pray for you. Or slap some sense into you. I don't know... We'd try a few different things.

Sorry, typo there.
