What is the most racist passage in the Bible?

There are supposed to be 23,145 verses in the Old Testament and 7,957 verses in the New Testament for a total of 31,102. There is some variability depending on the version because some versions omit some verses.

The interesting thing is the thousands of verses that are racist in context so it is almost impossible to read a page that does not contain a racist thought or deed.

The question is: What is the most racist verse or passage in the Bible?

I don't consider the bible rascist one bit. People want to pick at any dumb shit they find, and make it rascist. Stupid, and hurtful to some. Leave it alone..

It's unfortunate that you don't seem to be a critical reader.

The reality is that the Bible oozes racism from every page and it has had a very negative influence on societies around the world, especially in America. That's not to say that the more secular books don't contain some useful tidbits of advice on how to interact with people. I can list a lot of them. But, in this particular instance, the focus is on biblical racism and you should not ignore it because it has shaped your whole personality.

BTW, if discussing it is hurtful to some maybe they should create a new fairytale because this one has harmed and killed untold millions, if not billions, of people.

@Diotrephes no my point was people pick at the stupid bible for anything they can find, to validate their fucked up beliefs.. I like Jesus, but he was not magic, and all of you that think he was, are living a lie..

Do you agree with the idea expressed in this biblical passage?

2 Esdras 6:55-59 (CEB) = 55 “I have said all these things before you, Lord, because you have said that you created the oldest age[a] for our sake. 56 You have said that the other nations born of Adam are nothing, that they are like spit, and you have compared their abundance to a drop from a pitcher. 57 But look now, Lord! These nations that are valued as nothing rule over us and devour us, 58 while we, your people, whom you have called your oldest offspring, your one and only child, those who are zealous for you, your dearest ones, are handed over to them. 59 If the world was created for our sake, why don’t we possess our world as an inheritance? How long will this situation last?”

The Bible is a very complex book. IMO, the story tellers and writers did a wonderful job in basing all of the stories in the Old and New Testaments on one or more of the real Ten Commandments, Exodus 34:11-28. That's why the stories themselves don't always make logical sense. That's not their true purpose. Their true purpose is to teach complete obedience and total loyalty to the Boss (God, the chief priest, the emperor, the king, the family father). Disobedience to any of them warrants the death penalty.

The more secular books, such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Wisdom, and Sirach, contain lots of good timeless advice that everyone, regardless of race, nationality, or religious belief, might find to be beneficial in coping with life's problems. For instance, the best advice a parent can ever give a child is found in Proverbs 1:8-19 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=proverbs+1%3A8-19&version=CEB

How much tragedy could be avoided if parents drilled that message into their kids?

But, the focus here is on biblical racism so let's discuss it for a while.
