Ban
the Bible! I randomly discovered this meme and got curious enough about the rant to Google up some links. Bible scholarship can sometimes be cool, and throwing in some politics is a sure-fire mix for high hilarity and wacky hijinks!
No biting.
Firstly, if there was any question - I don't consider this a serious call to ban the bible, nor do I think anyone does. This is a way to promote discussion of (a) the Bible and (b) it's relationship to politics (although it's about America mostly, other, more civilized nations are sure to be involved somehow). And, yes, it was covered in the blue back when it was a newsfilter item. I missed the memo, ok? I think i was sick that day.

BURN IN HELL YOU FUCKING HEATHEN

oh shit sorry wrong thread
-
Its never the wrong thread. Thats an all purpose comment if ever I saw one.
-
I was surprised that Halfbakery rated it (+2,-15). It's hard to tell whether they're really conservative or don't like jokes about censorship.

What happened to that Gandhi fella. He made one good film and then he just disappeared. One hit wonder of you ask me. Bwa-ha-ha!
-
yeah, i don't know halfbakery but a couple of the comments were . . . weird (although the Ghandi comment was pure gold). quid we need an exorcism. Hold still while I get the bat. And now, on to the naughty bits: "And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house, and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father.....so they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel." II Samuel 16:21,22

Then did THE LORD create Adam, and seeing that he was all alone THE LORD said unto him "LO! I have made youse a chick so youse can like get down an drrrty" and Adam said "Thanks but I kinda prefer the cock, actually" and the LORD smote him down seven times and placed an angel with a flaming sword at his ass so that none might enter unto it: IV Psoriasis, 24-67

shit, wrong thread again
-
I keep tryin' to tell you that weren't no bible salesman.
-
I see a gameshow where contestants have to guess which verses are actual bible passages and which are made-up gibberish: "BIBLE ... OR BABBLE?", etc
-
Cognitive dissonance should be incorporated in more gameshows...
-
He who brought the butterdish to Baalshaza and the tentpeg to the house of Rashimon...

I *heart* the quidkid!!!!

Okay, I'm unedumacated. I've never read the bible (apart from Solomon's song, which I rather like), I don't own one...someone tell me if the stuff in the first link is REALLY in there, and if so, what's the context, usually?
-
The context is plenty of war and sex in the Old Testament. Don't hafta read the whole bible to understand USians Christian views. Just check out Revelations.
-
Stray, its in there.

"I read all about the scourging and the crowning with thorns and I could viddy myself helping in and even taking charge of the tolchocking and the nailing in, being dressed in the height of Roman fashion. I didn't so much like the latter part of the book, which is more like all preachy talking than fighting and the old in-out. I liked the parts where these old yahoodies tolchock each other and then drink their Hebrew vino, and getting onto the bed with their wives' handmaidens. That kept me going."
