Disturbing Passages in Holy Books

Post Reply New Topic

I think Abrahamic religions share a lot in common which, perhaps, contributes in some ways to their animosity towards each other in addition to believing they each are following the one true religion (although YMMV). Even sects of Christianity can be hostile towards other Christian sects - Mormons and JWs come to mind. It’s extremely silly. Their petty god cares about petty doctrinal differences. JWs insist that Jesus died on a stake, not a cross. I don’t see why the hell it should matter since the end result is EXACTLY the same, but it’s apparently a HUGE deal.

As for those women whole ill-will you have reason to fear, admonish them [first];
then distance yourself in bed, and then beat them; but if they pay you heed, do not
seek to harm them.
Q 4:34

What Talmudic Rabbis Don't Want Gentiles To Know (practice of breaking all God's laws and not keeping kosher, almost like Jewish satanism)

The Bible warns many times of jewish decision between right and wrong. Not all Jews were or are good people. But any institution can contain corruption as with religious leaders and corruption of arranged marriages.
I am so anti-institution, anti-society and anti-illuminati or whoever seeks power to control others.

Beware of changes in old testament, it's misleading. God gave 10 commandments and it's clear do not covert what they neighbour has, or adultery so let's review Jewish law of how to treat slaves, (Elijah was profit accepted islam and Judaism and interesting how islam interprets slavery laws) but no you under commandments may not sleep with female slaves, this book wasn't corrected such as actions of David)

Now that we live in age where woman are no longer stoned, I speak freely. I sat in synagogue that day, woman upstairs and looked down at the men who thanked G-d for making them men, but wait don't get upset there's explanation. I'd seeing some mysoganist view on TV that the man laughed and said of course G-d is a man, how can you not understand that part.
Um, so I looked up at sky outside in a field where I sat, I said you gave me a father who I love, he pays bills but is often of no comfort, my mother is unconditional blessing, her overweight is soft hug, her wrinkles less, our stretch marks the badges of honour, is this all because of Eden? If Job in Bible was a woman would you condemn him.
Within days I saw a man with no leg, I began to see men who were so stupid yet upholded by alliance for they always stick together to agree on money being withheld from woman. Shall I find G-d whilst I hang up the washing, whilst I break Sabbath to look after crying infant?
So has G-d given us woman a promise, that when I come to him and say you made me to bear children and I'm at loss to solution to my problem can I pray to you, I'm no longer virgin.... I pray with first grey hairs that he impart on me wisdom to guide.
Did I find my answer in mustard seed, did G-d not condemn men for their evil ways and not bring up for hidden fruit that day.

Whether you are a believer or not, open your eyes and see men, not all are righteous.

So if I held feminist riot, I won't burn my bra one woman said as it supports me more than a man. Nice. My riot is where we rent donkeys and ride virgin donkeys through street, with old hags who hold banners with nothing to say.

Or is your list of reading an insinuation that you were a... scientologist?!

^ I find JW's to be the worst kind of Christian, honestly. I like to think of myself as a more liberal minded Christian, but JW's seem to be more often, ultra conservative, and don't seem very flexible/are more dogmatic with their beliefs.

Conservative Christianity is a problem, period. JWs aren’t as bad as some groups because they stay out of politics which lessens the amount of harm they can cause in a macro sense, not that there’s not huge problems among people within the cult - like suicide among those who are LGBTQ+.

I personally am very open to people from all political stripes, from centre-left to centre-right. I am a bit weary of extremists in either direction, however.

I just take people as they come, some people have their opinions which are unpalatable to others. I don't hold it against them.
