That is scripture in the Holy Bible in the New Testament James 3:1-12!
Taming the Tongue
[quote]3 Not many of you should become teachers,(A) my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged(B) more strictly.(C) 2 We all stumble(D) in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say(E) is perfect,(F) able to keep their whole body in check.(G)
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.(H) 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.(I) Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire,(J) a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body,(K) sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.(L)
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.(M)
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.(N) 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs?(O) Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.[/quote]

@Pfuzylogic as far as i know loads of passages talk about how god floods stuff, pandemics, theres places that say slavery is good and that woman have no right to teach or that some are even property. so uuhm unless of course you think that good then yes of course its a holy good word book for you. but i think most in modern society would dislike those things

@Pfuzylogic it makes me read whats on the paper, not like what people "interpret" to make horrible lines have some kind of good message in them i'm sorry. its like me looking at modern art. like these are just some circles and you are standing there like "ooh no this clearly encompasses the world problems by dividing the problems and rationals into circles and depending on the colours its different problems and their severities" but instead of looking at a special painting we are just looking at something a 3 year old made in a couple god damn minutes!
SO NO, my autism sees things more clearly then someone like you who believes in things like this! you ignore bad things and only focus on the good and then use bullshit excuses if you bring them up.

You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT[/quote]
i mean stuff like this! you'll say hey they say don't enslave your own people! and i'm there like did you not just fucking read the damn first lines that says "ooh yeah cool enslave others"
