Indian Express: Revealed, the 'bad side' of Bible

sep 21st, 2009

oh, there is a 'good side' to the christists' idol? that's news to me.

read the 'skeptics annotated bible' on the net: practically every verse is violent, crazy, sexist, racist, or otherwise abhorrent.

no wonder that when founding father thomas jefferson of the us decided to tear out every page of his copy of the bible that was offensive, he found out that he only had the covers left.

and below, i like the limey backpedaling furiously at the end. what, the godmen threatened you or something?

Revealed, the 'bad side' of Bible

Readers of a Christian website have identified biblical verses
purportedly backing sexism, genocide and the slaughter of sorceresses
as the holy book's least endearing parts.

...

Simon Jenkins, editor of shipoffools.com, said: "It doesn't have to be
a textbook of infallible information and unbreakable laws to be God's
book. And it doesn't have to be one big pile of lies because of its
dodgy bits. In 'Chapter and Worse' we are attempting to rescue it from
rival takeover bids."
