People read scripture as if each story enabled them to obtain eternal life–but at what cost. A literal reading is enough to scare most people away from religion, yet pastors, priests, rabbis and others see the Old Testament as a guide for life: one filled with rape, pillage, and holocaust.
Richard Mourdock claims his god intends for women to be raped, abortion is not to be allowed for any reason–but this shows an advanced stage of nuerosis similar to that exhibited by the Taliban (theological students) in Afghanistan. What does the Bible say about this? and why does it appear in the Bible?
Newt Gingrich declared, during an Iowa debate, that Palestinians were “invented” and never were an historical people. History, archaeology, and more proves that Gingrich is no historian and out-of-touch with reality.
Genesis begins the contemporary Old Testament but was written after the Torah was composed as seen in its use of many laws from Leviticus and Deuteronomy, citations from older biblical texts as well as massive plagiarisms from the theologies of ancient Egypt, India, Akkadia, and throughout Mesopotamia. Far from Elohim being good, the true account shows a blood-thirsty pirate, enslaver, and mind-controller giving the early Habiru (Hebrews) little choice and stagnating their growth.
