(From this thread.)
…I learned many things about the Bible to fuel my hatred of it…
You actively hate the Bible?
Yes, when it has things passages saying to kill homosexuals (and pretty much everyone else who isn’t a straight worshiper of Yahweh),
I’m not sure what passages you’re speaking of, so I don’t know how many ways the text can be interpreted. (Also, about your parentheses, I don’t think a homosexual can effectively worship God.)
a raped virgin must marry her rapist
Well, I don’t recall it saying that in those terms, but people aren’t supposed to have sexual relation before marriage, and if that is committed, the parties are supposed to get married.
and a woman should not have authority over a man
“I’m not sure what passages you’re speaking of…”
how could I not hate it?
The things you speak of are not passages that I strictly remember, and I know how people can read pieces of the Bible (mainly from the old testament) and either refuse to follow a further contradiction, or completely misinterpret them.
