“The Bible: a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalise mankind.”

-- Thomas Paine

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

"Many followers will claim their god is all powerful, all loving, all just, all perfect, all wise, omnipotent, and knows the past, present, and future . . . If this is the case, why didn't their god have the foresight to inspire the writers of the Bible so it would be filled with timeless morals and ethics that would apply to any culture in any time period of human history and written in such a way that nobody could ever misinterpret it?"

-- Eric Kincade

The bible is as unimpressive as the knowledge of the humans who concocted it.

If you couldn’t be moral without your god, you’d do what he tells you.

But you don’t. Indeed, most of you don’t even know what he tells you.

The fact you make stupid excuses shows that you know this.

“Most humans are more moral than the scriptures they hold sacred.”

-- Alishba Zarmeen

"Do those people who hold up the Bible as an inspiration to moral rectitude have the slightest notion of what is actually written in it?"

-- Richard Dawkins

No, they do not. Not even a little. Nope. Nuh-uh. No idea.

Which is, of course, why they’re a Xian.

Matthew 12:31-32

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Mark 3:28-29

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

Luke 12:10

And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

Xianity is a blank check to do literally anything you like, as long as you stay buddy-buddy with Jesus. Bible god will supply whatever forgiveness you need, so you need never bother yourself with seeking it from the person you wronged.

Forgiveness by divine proxy.

This is the word of the lord.

“The bible as we have it contains elements that are scientifically incorrect or even morally repugnant.

No amount of explaining away can convince us that such passages are the product of divine wisdom.”

The good things in the bible aren’t original, and the original things aren’t good.
