FUCK THE BIBLE

Uh Oh. Who did I piss off? Did I intend to? No not really. What's really going on through my head is how we have to fight long and hard to get certain things accepted by the majority of society. Now the majority are Christians. This is true. Maybe half of the Christians are crazy. That is a lot. Notice I said not all. Because I don't believe they all are, let's make that clear.

Let me explain where I’m coming from. Today I read an article titled "Church fires teacher for being female”. This woman from Watertown N.Y. taught at a church for over 54 years and she was recently dismissed due to the churches desire to adopt what it called a literal interpretation of the bible. The interpretation prohibits woman from teaching men. Here is a verse from the Great Book.

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent."

One of the ministers from the church who is also on the city counsel states "I believe that a woman can perform any job and fulfill any responsibility that she desires to, outside of the church".

The minister is also a member of the Watertown City Counsel which consists of five members, all men.

A different story, in Maplewood Mnn a church minister is being asked to step down do to him ignoring the communities’ cries for him to mix politics and church. Rev. Gregory Boyd has been asked on many occasions to give his blessing to, and the churches, to conservative political candidates and causes,

The church members have been asking him to announce rally’s for gay marriage during services, introduce a politician from the pulpit, let members set of an anti abortion table in the churches lobby, let the members pass out voter guides that all but endorsed republican candidates, and put up an American flag in the church.

My Boyd himself is a republican but believes that church and state should be separated. During the 2004 election he preached 6 sermons titles "The Cross And The Sword" in which he said the church should stay clear of politics, stop moralizing on sexual issues, and stop referring to the United States as a Christian Nation. This guys pretty cool.

Here's a quote I found to be scary from one of the Church members. "Most of my friends are believers, and they think that if you're a believer then you'll vote for Bush. And it''s scary to go against that".

This is what I mean by the bible shouldn’t be taken that literally. People are only against gay marriage because the bible states it's wrong, but did people forget this verse from the bible.

"Slaves obey your human masters in everything; don't work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the lord" (Colassians 3:22)

"Slaves submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good adn gentle but also to the cruel" (1 Peter 2:18)

So as I have preached before, I need a slave.

Another thing people are so die hard against is abortion. Not everyone is against it because of the bible. A lot of people are against it because of their true beliefs, but some people are just because of the bible. Let me sell some more verses to you. Tell me what you think

This verse is right after 2 people have been married

"But evidence of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones..." (Deutronomy 22:20,21)

"woman should be silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be submissive, as the law also says" (1 Corinthians 14:34)

"one of illegitimate birth shall not enter the congregation of the Lord" (Deuternomy 23:2)

I'm just going to copy and paste just a few more I found.

The father even has the right to sell his daughter as a servant (slave girl) to other men: "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. (From the NIV Bible, Exodus 21:7-8)"

"...and the birth of ANY daughter is a loss. (From the New Jerusalem Bible, Ecclesiasticus 22:3)"

"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. (From the NIV Bible, Leviticus 21:9)"



Interesting. I can sell my daughter, stone my bride if she's not a virgin, call my new born daughter a loss, and again, own a slave. Oh and force my daughter to marry a slave. Hopefully my daughter will be hot, that should make up for al the beatings said slave will have received from me.

For all my friends who are Christians, I am not talking to you. If you happen to be pro-life or don't believe in gay marriage than that's your choice. See I am pro choice =0). I said we have to fight long and hard to get certain things in society to be accepted. Rights for the non whites and non male are a perfect example. It wasn’t until the 60’s that black people slowly started be truly accepted and given the same equal rights as others. Even that mission isn’t completely accomplished. Woman started voting in the 20’s if I’m correct. That’s not that long ago. I really hate it when people feel a woman or a black person or a gay person should be paid less or treated differently all because a book that was written centuries ago by who knows and revised a billion times by who knows said so.

I say let's tear out half of that book. Throw it in the trash. And learn from the teachings from the good half. I already did. It's right here in my hand. Let me take a look at....Ah shit I threw out the wrong half. I better go yell at Mollye. I mean, she is inferior to me right? That's what is says right here.

" I have all power for I am man, and my roar will be heard for centuries to come. And I will have my slave pick me cotton and make me a house of clouds or he shall be beat. Oh and I might stone my daughter because she's woman. And they are inferior." (1 JeansPants 56:67)
