Practically everything the bible tells you to do is illegal in a secular system of law. Yet, they still want you to put your hand on the bible and say "special" words. You can't have it both ways.

Actually, you can tell the judge that you want to swear on a dictionary and they MUST allow it. Anything really, you can even swear "I swear, based on my own personal ethics and honor that I will tell the truth ..." Or better, and less likely to upset anyone is to request to swear on the Constitution of the US. As to many Americans that is the most sacred document there is.

@@Graeme_Lastname You do know that as quickly as you can write your opinion, you can look up the truth? From COURT SERVICES VICTORIA AUSTRALIA: OATHS AND AFFIRMATIONS OATHS An oath is a verbal promise to tell the truth. Oaths are frequently made while holding the Bible, the New Testament or the Old Testament. Witnesses may choose to swear an oath on another relevant religious text. It is not necessary that a religious text be used in taking an oath. Oaths may be taken by individuals, or by two or more people at the same time. For a witness appearing in court, the form of oath taken is generally as follows: "I swear (or the person taking the oath may promise) by Almighty God (or the person may name a god recognized by his or her religion) that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." There is a separate oath for people who act as an interpreter in court. If this applies to you, the form of the oath for interpreters in court can be found at Schedule 1 to the Evidence Act 2008. AFFIRMATIONS An affirmation is a verbal, solemn and formal declaration, which is made in place of an oath. A person may choose to make an affirmation rather than taking an oath. An affirmation has the same effect as an oath. Affirmations may be made by individuals or by two or more people at the same time. For a witness appearing in court, the form of affirmation is as follows: "I solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." There is a separate affirmation for those who undertake the role of an interpreter in court. If this applies to you, the form of the affirmation for interpreters in court can be found at Schedule 1 to the Evidence Act 2008. ABSENCE OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF If an oath has been properly administered and taken, the fact that the person to whom the oath was administered had no religious beliefs at that time does not affect the validity of the oath.

I think you should actually LEARN to read the Bible. This was during the separation between God and man. Laws religious leaders used to follow. Laws that were wrong.

Any argument against Christianity with evidence from the Old Testament is invalid.

[@insideinside9450]

@@some_dude10 I think you are mistaken. If Christianity ought not to be judged off the old testament then I may as well come and kill you or sleep with your wife and still be considered clean. Remember sin is the transgression of the law but there are almost no commandments in the new testament, except for Matthew 5: 39 through to about 45 but boy there are a lot of them in the Old Testament. Can I also make this clear, Jesus makes not only reference to the old testament in one of his biggest rebuttals yet, but he makes direct reference to Moses' writing when talking about the greatest law. Mark 12: 29 & 30 (read in your bible) is almost directly quoting Deuteronomy 6: 4 & 5 meaning that Jesus on Earth saw the Old Testament as useful. Also in Mark 12: 29 - 31 he was making reference to Deuteronomy 5: 6-22 and Exodus 20: 1-17. It is also rude and biblically wrong for you to say that the laws written by Moses "The Greatest Prophet" is wrong. It is in Amos 3:7 where the Prophet writes that God does nothing without revealing his plans to his prophets (btw this is not me quoting) it is also In the New Testament where Paul writes in 2 Timothy 3: 16 that all scriptures, even the law and the poetic books, ALL SCRIPTURES ARE GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD FOR DOCTRINE CORRECTION ETC (again not me quoting). It is then biblically incorrect of you to call the laws of Moses wrong. The Christian Church must take the old testament seriously. You mentioned the religious leader and Jesus having a problem with them. I mean who would not... But I want to bring to you 1 actual situation with Jesus recorded by John. (John 8: 1 - 11) A woman was caught in the very act of Adultery. They brought her to Jesus to test him to see if he would justify the sin of the woman or allow them to kill the woman and Jesus said to them let him that is without sin cast the first stone. We know that story well. I want to make a point then I will be done Firstly Jesus Recognizes her actions as sin through the laws written by God's own fingers as he says in verse 11 Go and sins no more. He also recognizes Moses' punishment for Adultery in Leviticus 20:10, because he says cast the first stone if you are sinless. But like Paul writes "The wages of sin (adultery) is death, but the gift of god is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. And so Moses is right for writing those Laws and Punishments but God offers his Grace. Romans 5:20 Where sin abounds Grace, rather than Punishment, much more abounds. I want those who will read to understand that Death is the punishment for homosexuality, adultery, murder, Lying, etc. but even when caught in the very act God's Grace, God's gift is extended to each and every one. Nothing is wrong with Leviticus Chapters 16-20 but something is wrong with us called sin. Let us allow God in our lives, obey his law , and stop finding excuses to break them. And even when we BREAK them John tells us in his first Epistle, "If we confess our sins he his faithful and just to forgive us all our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

So I gave them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live; I defiled them through their gifts-the sacrifice of every firstborn-that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.’ ~~Judges 11:30-40 Jephthah killed his young daughter (his only child) by burning her alive as a burnt sacrifice to the lord for he commanded it. ~~Genesis 22 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love-Isaac-and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.” ~~Psalms 137:8-9 Prayer/song of vengeance “0 daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. ~~Jeremiah 11:22-23 God will kill the young men in war and starve their children to death. ~~Jeremiah 19:7-9 God will make parents eat their own children, and friends eat each other. ~~Lamentations 2:20-22 God gets angry and mercilessly torments and kills everyone, young and old. He even causes women to eat their children ~~2 Kings 6:28-29 “And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.” ~~Deuteronomy 21:18-21 “If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.” ~~Judges 19:24-29 “Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; then I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go. Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light. And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold. And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place. And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.” To put it very bluntly this poor, young lady was murdered by her mate for being raped. ~~Exodus 12:29 God killed, intentionally, every first-born child of every family in Egypt, simply because he was upset at the Pharaoh. And God caused the Pharaoh’s actions in the first place. Since when is it appropriate to murder children for their ruler’s forced action? ~~Exodus 20:9-10 God commands death for cursing out one's parents Joshua 8 God commanded the deaths of 12,000 men, women, and children of Ai. They were all slain in the ambush that was planned by god. ~~2 Kings 2:23-24 The prophet Elisha, was being picked on by some young boys from the city because of his bald head. The prophet turned around and cursed them in the Lord's name. Then, two female bears came out of the woods and killed forty-two of them. You would think that God could understand that sometimes the youthful make childish jokes.

Whoever is captured will be thrust through; all who are caught will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated.

[@vegasemerald9657]

Ah, the infamous chapter. I’m not sure if I want to cover this one. But.. I am ready, so let’s do this. Leviticus 20:1-5 So it’s not ok for anyone to sacrifice their children to Molek or any other false idols but child sacrifice is A-Ok when they sacrifice their children to YHWH like a certain chapter in Judges. This chapter is going to use the word “stone” a lot as to mean the death penalty. Woah, woah.. What if the family hadn’t heard about the child sacrifice to Molek or any of the false gods? By setting his face against him, YHWH means bringing his wrath against the offender and give him the death stare. Fail to stone the offender and YHWH will also give the offender’s family the death stare. Leviticus 20:6-8 Blah blah blah, anyone who turns to mediums and spiritists are prosituting themselves and are to be cut off, what else is new? This makes me want to watch some Harry Potter. Guess I’ll be joining Harry Potter in Hell. Leviticus 20:9 This one is mixed. Yes, at first glance, it does seem like we should respect our parents… Only if they were to love and care for their kids in the first place. Not everyone has that luxury where they’re fully supported and loved to the max. The problem with this is there are plenty of parents who abuse their kids like how Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac as a burnt offering in Genesis 22. Some parents don’t deserve that kind of respect especially if they’re going to be assholes to their kids. YHWH is an abusive parent himself. Worst father ever! Leviticus 20:10 Again, like the previous verse, this is also mixed. I’ve covered this one back in the Ten Commandments. If it’s non-consensual Adultery (If x agrees with y but z doesn’t, then it’s non-consensual), then I can understand but I fail to see what’s “death penalty” worthy about it. If it were rape (if x invades y’s personal boundaries and z disapproves), then the penalty would be a sentence in jail. Now, if it’s consensual (x, y and z all agree to let x be with y) then consenting adults should not be getting punished let alone get the death penalty. Why the adulteress need to be put to death? It’s not fair to her regardless if she gave consent or not. Victim blaming, Welcome to Saudi Texas where women gets the worst end of the stick. Leviticus 20:11 Didn’t we already cover that 2 chapters ago? Again, if the mother were to get raped by her own son, why put her to death? For what? Not speaking loud enough? She should have the human right to self-defense as everyone else. Also, wouldn’t the father protect their wives from danger? What does the author mean by “their blood will be in their own heads”? Leviticus 20:12 There appears to be a theme here.. Putting all parties to death regardless of how women feel about it. Leviticus 20:13 Oh goodie, being told I’m worthy of death if I had any feelings for another man or a transgender person or anyone that’s not the opposite gender. I wouldn’t be surprised if Conversion Therapy turns out to reenforce this law. Ask the s**cide rates. It reflects very badly on this law and the author that wrote it. If people say yes on anti-LGBT laws, then they are terrible people. Who else are they going to discriminate? How far are they willing to go on following the Bible? To the max? We will get someone like Greg Locke if we were to follow the Bible to the fullest. On the other side, if no, then some can resort into the “No True Scotsman” fallacy by calling them “Fake Christians”. LGBTQ+ Christians endures this a lot by extremists. The moment we go against the Bible or aren’t good enough, we would be inferior to them. How can they be “fake” Christians if the Bible is so ambiguous? How would they know what a “true” Christian look like? Leviticus 20:14 Nothing new. Next! Leviticus 20:15 Who would want to have that kind of relationship with animals? Animals, like children, cannot give meaningful consent. Is there any incidents in the past chapters or books that displayed this? Did YHWH know anyone who had done the deed and got punished as a result? Also, why kill the animal? Let me guess, the animal is unclean and must be stranded to die. Leviticus 20:16 Again, who in the right mind would want to have a sexual relationship with an animal? It doesn’t matter what gender. Wouldn’t a man who is trying to save animals to sacrifice be pissed if anyone is caught having that relationship with an animal? This is icky, next! Leviticus 20:17 So, no death penalty? That is what I am expecting throughout this chapter. Is YHWH going to decide when to punish the excommunicated siblings? Might as well just get it over with considering he had said how the land will vomit them out. Leviticus 20:18 Already covered. Next! Leviticus 20:19 Don’t sleep with aunts or uncles. Does sleeping with your best friend’s (or neighbor’s) aunt (single or open-relationship) count as breaking the law? Leviticus 20:20 “They will die childless” Fine by me. I’m never interested in having kids in the first place. It has no effect on me. Moving on, next! Leviticus 20:21 Genesis 38 will beg to differ. Onen died and his brother’s widowed wife marries the brother because he would die otherwise (forgot exactly what chapter and verse in Genesis, do feel free to correct me). Too little, too late. Leviticus 20:22-24 A foreshadowing to Joshua. Keep this in mind when we get there. It also foreshadows Leviticus 26 with its lists. Good to know how artificial Biblical love can be. Their slogan should be: We love you with all our hearts. Come to the magical, luxurious paradise Eden. It is superior to Disney World in every capacity. Come be with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; we will welcome you with open arms. They will accept you. You must accept the terms and conditions to apply.

[@RechtmanDon]

I Have a short story to share with you here, inspired by Mark Twain's wonderfully cynical style: The Legend of Sil (updated* ) We always called him “Sil” up until the day he died. And well, usually even after that. My uncle Silvester-I mean, Sil-was not an exceptional man. He was an accountant, a good accountant, living in a rich neighborhood, but the only thing I really remember about him was the incident that made him legendary. You see, he was fervent in his religion. A good believer, by all standards: went to his house of worship, prayed, tried to get me and everyone else to pray, gave money to the leaders, hated the right things including non-believers, you know, all those things so carefully spelled out in his Holy Book. And he read the Holy Book. Oh, how he loved his Holy Book. Or I should say Holy Books. He had a collection that ranged from sizes encyclopedic to miniscule, and in seven different languages, too. There was one on his desk at work, one at his bedside, one on the dining table, two in the bathroom (in case one got wet), two in the car (front and back seats), and of course the proverbial shirt pocket-sized Book he always kept on his person, not surprisingly usually in his shirt pocket, so as to be as close as possible right over his heart. Things were going very well for Sil, until one day, in his rich neighborhood, he found himself caught in the middle of a group of teenagers out for a little fun. They were doing the usual teen kind of things, you know, like, walking in groups, being loud, laughing, and firing off their assorted weapons. Well, wouldn’t you know it? One of those bullets went astray, and flew right in front of Sil’s chest from the side. They say it should have simply passed in front of him, maybe making a little mark on the lapel of his suit, but instead the bullet hit the proverbial shirt pocket-sized Holy Book, which ricocheted the bullet to change direction, and it went right into his heart and killed him. Nowadays I take time every once in a while to pray that I don’t ever again fall victim to another chain letter. Don Rechtman 13 November, 2010; updated 19 February, 2015 * When I first penned this story, I was responding to a plethora of literary and supposedly literal stories that have been circulating for many years and still occasionally make brief headlines. Unfortunately, my first version, while intending to allude to a very narrow abstract religious group, ended up targeting a rather large religious segment of society, many of whose members (now) understandably took offense. At the time I simply did not know how to make it more generic. In this updated version, I have been very careful to attain substantial enough vagueness to ensure that anyone from any religious group may find it reasonable to take offense. The Author, 19 February, 2015

[@jeanine219]

Thank you for sharing this ironic story. My interpretation is this. The book in his pocket helped kill him, though it was completely unrelated to it’s content. If it had been a similarly constructed book with no title or words, it would have had the same effect. But THE SAME holds true for if it had diverted the bullet and saved his life. Christians however would say yay to the former and nay to the latter🥴

"Nowadays I take time every once in a while to pray that I don’t ever again fall victim to another chain letter."

Like Chain Letters they threaten dire consequences for those who don't follow their directions. Like Chain Letters they promise that good things will ultimately happen to those who do follow their directions. Like Chain Letters they have *nothing* to back up those claims, and like Chain Letters they're made up by madmen and liars! The NT is very much high pressure sales tactics and MLM nonsense. They tell people that they're special, that other people who most people consider wise are really the stupid ones, and that god thinks they are the clever ones. Also, you must -Buy- believe NOW, because tomorrow -the Sale will be Over- you could die and then you’d go to Hell. It's _very_ manipulative!

Notice that at no point anywhere in the buybull does the gawd ya-way ever directly call out the gawd mole-ache or any other gawd. No, it's much easier and safer for ya-whey to smack down his followers instead.

Yes, the 10 Commandments said not to kill, but punishing a dude who sacrificed his own children isn’t murder.

with regards homosexual sex, I thought (like the death for sabbath workers) Jesus was supposed to have 'fulfilled' those requirements out of the bible.

Just read Mt5,17-18 and decide for yourself. Do you know how Christians are called that have actually read the bible? Atheists!

[@davebrown6552]

@@halebopp4747 Well if homosexuality is such a big crime for Christians than surely they should be equally hateful towards cleaners, doctors, nurses, truck drivers, police and everyone else who works on the sabbath. It is funny to watch a proselytizer deal with the conundrum especially if you ask them how many soldiers they had personally stoned to death, or if they think god's word was not worth following.

If god is only now getting round to passing on these pearls of its wisdom, were these actions 'wrong' before it told anyone. If god had not told everyone that sacrificing kids to molek was wrong then how can it the get pissy if they have done things that it does not like. which rules were being broken when god murdered everyone with the flood. who had he told the rules to and how had they passed the rules onto everyone else. If the rules were 'built in' then why the need to regurgitate them here.

[@Daniel-cz7kd]

Dave Brown You know, there’re no words of wisdom passed on by god, and god’s rules were never broken, in fact god has always been out to sacrifice and murder kids to molek and every other god possible, as well as women and men.

Can i ask a questions: i am a vegan for couple of years. But i dont believes freewill exits. So how can i choose to be vegan if i cant freely choose. If someone love meat because their brain control them. Then how can we criticised them. They dont have choice to be vegan. Their brain decide to be a meat eater?? So what do you think about it??

[@youtubestudiosucks978]

Your anology could be used to justify anybody doing anything... "If somebody loves to murder because their brains control them then how can we critisize them? They dont have a choice but to murder, their brains decide to murder." Unless you're a very specific picky eater you can choose to eat anything you want to eat.

So, it is OK to Sacrifice your kids to Molek, provided you aren't in Israel? Well that's a relief. I was worried there for a minute. No-one wants to be called a sinner.

@@Daniel-cz7kd Right around the time a supposedly omniscient god (who would know exactly who would be the first to greet Jephthah on his return home) granted Jephthah his victory. Is your supposed god omniscient or not, Daniel? Then there's the supposed omnibenevolent aspect of your supposed god: An omnibenevolent and omniscient being would have stopped Jephthah, but yours didn't. Why is that, Daniel? The end of the story is that your imaginary god, in the words your own book of mythology, accepted a human sacrifice. That's as disgusting as your god approv8ng of and giving rules for chattel slavery.

[@Daniel-cz7kd]

@boomanchu2 Simply no. As for “Why is that, Daniel?” Simply, god’s not an omnibenevolent nor omniscient being nor is he my god, and your correct, he endorses human sacrifice and approves and gives rule of chattel slavery to any who pleases him; he hates us, and uses people like Hemant to teach the Bible the wrong way along with science, history, morality and other such branches of learning and understanding.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, [even] his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

[@alguno1010101]

Often it's said that one of the reasons God hated the Canaanites and all the other people in the Holy Land is that they practiced human sacrifice, specially of children. Of course, the irony of God punishing them for killing children in the name of their gods, by ordering the Israelites to kill all of them, down to the last children, in his God's name, always eludes them. God demanding them to stone people to death and ordering them to genocide entire nations is basically God demanding human sacrifices. It's just basically nationalistic propaganda for Israel.

Aids wasnt foundout at that time, somebody had to frick an actual monkey for it to pass on humans and we didnt have the right weapons and traps to fight against monkeys until after we invented guns. It came from monkeys, a person fucked a monkey, then they fucked somebody else and that person fucked somebody else and eventually it spread so far and wide that it's hard to pinpoint patient zero
