Evil Bible

A comprehensive reading of the Bible reveals that the majority of it, excluding some books of the Apocrypha and most of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, are racist and evil from the first page to the last page. Yet, the average American is expected to hold it in high esteem, even to the point placing one's hand on it in court and swearing to tell the truth. That is complete opposite to what the Jesus character said. He said that one should never swear any oaths at all. That just shows that the control freaks have never read the fairytale.

The purpose of this thread is to cite and comment on all of the racist and evil passage in the Bible. Feel free to participate and comment.

@Dshhh Agreed on the NT....Paul was hit or miss....OT...probably historically accurate told from a jewish perspective. It's important to remember that they believed they were god's chosen people. keeping that in mind, it becomes difficult to call the document racist. BUT....it's also the case that the jewish people of the OT always took responsibility for their circumstances....even when they shouldn't have....thus they always had some action they had taken to either blame or laud themselves depending on what happened.

The Jesus character was an ethnocentric bigot.

Recall what he said in Matthew 15:24 (CEB) = "24 Jesus replied, “I’ve been sent only to the lost sheep, the people of Israel.”

And he spoke in parables so that outsiders wouldn't understand his messages.

Then there's the warning in Sirach about not trusting a man who had his characteristics.

Sirach 36:31 (CEB) = "Who will trust a well-equipped robber who travels from city to city? Likewise, who will trust a man who does not have a nest and who lodges wherever night falls?'"

Remember what the Jesus character said about himself in Matthew 8:20 (CEB) = "20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens, and the birds in the sky have nests, but the Human One has no place to lay his head.”

@Diotrephes Yes, he spoke in the words of the period in ways the people to whom he was speaking would understand. To get to where you're trying to go, you need to know more about the society and its sociological characteristics and make determinations in the context of the period in which they take place....
