My "Pot Stories and Humanist Essays" is finally beginning to sell after a couple of years listed in Kindle. I co-authored the book with the renowned Barbara Walker, one of the early feminist writers and author of over twenty-five books. Her “Compilation of Biblical Quotes” is getting a lot of attention as it clearly shows how nutty the God of the Bible actually is. It's amazing how religious people quote the Bible, but only the lines that support their current position. They always leave out the good stuff, the crazy stuff that leads us to conclude that God must be a murderous, megalomaniacal madman.
The following is only a small fraction of her compilation. You'll have to download the eBook to get the rest – dozens more. It'll be the best five bucks you ever spent when you consider all the hours of entertainment, history and philosophy contained within.
The following is Barbara's words taken from the book: Try some of these lines on your favorite, hardnose Christian fanatics and watch their faces.
. KILLING. (As in "Thou shalt not"???)
The biblical god personally kills a total of 371,186 people, not counting his slaughter of every living thing in Genesis 7. The biblical god also orders the killing of a total of 1,862,265.
Gen. 22:2 - God accepts human sacrifices (including that of Jesus, later).
Ex. 12:29 - God kills all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.
Ex. 15:3 - God is a god of war.
Ex. 21:15,17 - Anyone who strikes or curses a parent must be killed.
Ex. 22:18 - Every witch must be killed.
Ex. 22:19,20 - You must kill anyone who "lieth with a beast," or who worships any god other than Yahweh.
Ex. 31:15 - Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be killed.
Lev. 20:10,13,27 - You must kill adulterers, homosexuals, wizards, and spirit mediums.
Lev. 21:9 - Any priest's daughter who fornicates must be burned alive.
Lev. 24:16 - Blasphemers must be killed.
Deut. 3:4 - God is pleased that his warriors destroyed 60 cities.
Deut. 7:16 - You must kill all the people God delivers into your hands, and "thine eye shall have no pity upon them."
To all the feminists that might read this post, her last essay in the book deals with the treatment of women under Islamic law and will bring tears to your eyes. I'll get to the marijuana essays in another post.
