Throughout history cults and religious leaders alike have often interpreted scripture in way which suits their needs, sometimes with great amounts of creativity and enormous leaps in logic.

For example we all know that the bible was used to justify racial slavery, and more recently the quiver full movement justified opposition to birth control and by extension oppression of women through childbirth.

So I thought, why not turn this into a fun little game?

Simply open your favorite holly book to a random page and select a passage without looking. Then find some way to abstract what it says into the most ridiculous thing you can think of which ought to stem from that passage.

I got: 2 Peter 3:8 "But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like one day"

So from this, I think we can safely assert that the date is wrong. Todays date should be January 2, 737,424,001

No interpretation needed to find scripture supporting slavery and the oppression of women, except the simple literal interpretation.

PS. Playing the game.
Judges 14 : 2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.

Taken to mean. Always use your parents to do the donkey work, then you can go have a beer or two with your mates while all the courtship stuff is done for you. And make sure they find you a stupid wife, who won't stop you.

Can you imagine if that was still the tradition? To go to your parents and ask them to find you a spouse? Sounds like some entitled BS to me.
