Dude, that was 3000 years ago. Get over it!
August 19, 2012 at 1:41 pm
It was written by God for all eternity. Just like the part about keeping slaves, fucking your daughters and not eating figs. Gotta follow the rulez.

Except he changed his mind when Jesus came around.
Oh, wait, that’s not clearly written anywhere.
August 19, 2012 at 2:28 pm
It comes from the concept of the “New Covenant”, but there is debate over whether the New Covenant supersedes the old or incorporates and adds to it. (Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah – Jeremiah 31:31)
August 19, 2012 at 2:30 pm
Yeah I know. There’s a lot of talk about that. Then there’s the part where Jesus said the old laws are to be preserved down to the last tit and fiddle (such a naughty man).
August 19, 2012 at 2:45 pm
Yeah, and the whole Matthew 5:17 thing- (Do not think that I have come to abolish the Laws of the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them)I guess that’s why there are so many Xian denominations, so everybody can have their own position on it.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’” Mathew 5:38
But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. Mathew 5:39
Thus negating the old law

Unh… Isn’t this pretty much the same policy we have for dangerous animals? Like, if a dog attacks someone, we put the dog down?
August 19, 2012 at 1:46 pm
Except that when I put the dog down, I eat the dog.
Waste not want not
August 19, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Yeah, except we don’t torture the animal to death.
And why waste the delicious meat?
August 19, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Taking into account how tough bulls are, it’d probably take a whole lot of stoning to kill one, probably causing all its meat to be full of bruises and (infected) cuts. Not eating it might not be a bad idea.
Though stoning it to death is still both needlessly sadistic and wasteful.
August 19, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Stoning is just pre slaughter tenderizing!
This verse is just more stupid magical thinking anyway.
Prima: This bull has killed a person!
Secunda: If we eat this bull, we will kill people, too!
Prima: Better bury it up to its neck and throw rocks at it, just to be safe.

No, that’s just how they do it to women.
August 20, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Maggie, Well, I suppose you could tie the bull down, but I don’t think it will stand still for a stoning. Do you have any other suggestions?
Nurgen, Sometimes fundie Muslims bury the men to their necks, too. Most of the time they bury the men to their waists.
August 21, 2012 at 9:51 pm
You think it would be easier to bury a bull than to just tie it by it’s neck to a tree?
Okay then. If that makes sense to you I really don’t know what to say. I’m not a special education teacher.

It’s a fairly poor lesson on keeping your property under control, the owner doesn’t suffer any penalty besides the value of the bull.
I’m with you on the other point though… I really don’t see the point of picking at this verse.
August 19, 2012 at 7:27 pm
Mags, if you have two undergrad degrees and a Masters why do you write like a high school dropout? Did you get someone to write your papers for you or something?
You would think that with all that education you would know that “Though I do have 2 undergrads and a masters” is not actually a sentence.
One would also think that you would have noticed that no one is disagreeing with the bible, just noting that different denominations have different views on what it says. Do we look stupid doing that? Then millions of theologians over the centuries must have been stupid, too – in fact, you’re implying that all of organized religion is stupid because discussing the religious texts and their meanings is the foundation of religion.
Are you really saying that organized religion is stupid? Mags, I didn’t know you were a Deist!

“I’m sure with your stunted intellect you think you’re clever but to the normal people out there with actual intelligence you’re just falling around over and over again like a fucking spastic liberal asshat.”
Nothing spastic here. Only mature discourse. Calling people fucking idiots and making blanket derogatory statements about peoples (Jews, liberals, homosexuals, etc.) is clearly something only atheist fag loving libtards do. Once a person gets an education, and does some reading and fact checking and hard thinking so that they understand wisdom the “trillions” of theologians who have come before us, they learn the secrets of clever discourse.
And all is right in the world…

You misunderstand, Magnus. I’m on your side. Of course you should be able to insult someone who doesn’t agree with you. You’re clever and they aren’t. You nailed it. If you didn’t tell them they are fucking losers, they would never know.
Although I will take umbrage with you repeating the trillions bit. Researchers are thinking that there’s been 100-120 billion people ever. But no one can read everything even those who read more than the fags and the libtards who suckle at the teat of comic books and video games.
Preach on, worldly traveler. You’ve got me on your side.
August 21, 2012 at 10:03 pm
Oh I think you have mistaken my words, king of satire who is so smart he …well he couldn’t follow an actual comment thread properly and didn’t respond to the post he’s attempting response to.
Researchers huh? Any names? No? Any validity to their guess work? No? That’s okay. You have sarcasm.
Oh and thank you for giving me permission to have an opinion. How did I manage to blast through your conditioned restrictions to attain such a noble allowance? I don’t necessarily agree that they wouldn’t know they’re losers without being told. I’m pretty sure they can look around in their real lives and see that. They can contest it online and deny it to themselves but really…even you as king of satire can see how sad and desperate they are. The level of stupidity demonstrated by two simpletons seems to be accelerating.
Glad to have you on my side. I’m not sure reality and sense are a side so much as the expectations anyone has of a normal person though.
Oh I didn’t know all comic book readers were gay. That’s an interesting perspective you have on them. I don’t know as I agree but if you want to say that all comic book readers are gay and engage in man on man anal sex and twin tipped dildo scissoring then you are allowed since you can have an opinion (so sayeth my “side”). Video game players too? Wow that seems like you’re labelling an awful big demographic. Up to you though. I guess per the opinion of the other “side” which is nonsense and lies everyone who reads a comic book or plays a video game HAS to be gay. It’s now mandatory?
Wow king of satire you sure play hard. Hard as the dicks you insist pretty much every single guy who reads this suck and every girl who reads this not.

You bible-phobic retards do realize that this is how you keep domesticated species domesticated? You eliminate violent and uncontrollable animals from the gene pool!
