Seriously, what the hell....

[steveo1978]

If its a joke or not those people are idiots. That verse they quoted basically means if you go next door and are banging your neighbors daughter and get caught then you owe her dad some cash and you are required to marry her. If you wanna basically break it down if the girl wont a virgin you do not have to do anything and also do not get caught fucking the neighbors daughter. Another thing that makes them look like idiots is the fact that the bible says "judge not less ye be judged first" and they are passing judgement. One person there even said [censored] is not a sin just shows inbreeding is common with the members on that forum. A rapist is lusting after the person they [censored] and lust is one of the seven deadly sins.


I hope that people do not read this and think all Christians are this way are that they bible condones crap like that. Hell one verse in the bible says something like its better to plant their seed in the belly off a whore they to masturbate.

But surely if you're a believer you have to believe it all, lock, stock and barrel? You can't just cherry pick the most palatable parts and ignore the rest.

Religion + stupid people = even more stupidity.

This thread is so retarded.

What I meant was most Christians do not take stuff from the bible and twist it around like that site had done.

But they haven't twisted it, quite the opposite. The site is taking literalness to a ludicrous extreme. Herein lies the humour.

You'd be surprised at the number of muslims who pick and choose sections of the Qur'an to ignore.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same when it came to Christianity.

Which is where religion loses a lot of it's credibility.

I can't believe people actually believe that site is real. If you actually dig a bit deeper you'll find that the entire forum is a mockery of the extreme southern baptist churches.

 

[RNorthex]

i was a christian, now 101% atheist with pure philosophic aspects and i know that not even the christians are this dumb as much as the religion sound illogical
religion makes stupid ppl, yes, i totally agree, but also law
there are laws in some countries where you have to be "forced to do -that-" before you are 18 or you will be sentenced to death
and there are men who officially apply to this job

want to hear more stupidity?
this just barely made my jaw open for the rest of the day
even if it's a mockery, it's not far from the truth at some religions and countries

I do believe it all to be true. Do I believe a woman should be forced to marry her rapist? No. Those laws were for a specific time, and for a specific culture. It's there as a history lesson to show us how the law had been in the past. The law changed when the time and culture changed.

It's very possible that the old law was the best law they could have in that old culture. It isn't now obviously though.

I can't believe there are some people actually taking this seriously.

The Landover Baptist Church is a fictional Baptist church based in the fictional town of Freehold, Iowa. The Landover Baptist web site and its associated Landoverbaptist.net Forum are a satire of fundamentalist Christianity and the Religious Right in the United States.

The site was created by Chris Harper, who obtained his Master's Degree in English Literature from George Mason University in 1993 after being expelled from Liberty University (founded by Jerry Falwell) in 1989 for producing a satirical radio show which Liberty's administration found offensive. Harper frequently appears at atheist conventions playing the character of "Pastor Deacon Fred Smith". The website is owned by a company called Americhrist, Ltd.

It is a joke. People, please stop taking it seriously. It is a joke. It was actually kinda funny. People overreact to much.

Yes, but the piece of Scripture is genuine. This is what we were discussing.

Also, the Bible cannot be updated through flashing.

I do believe that some of them actually thought it was real and made some long arguement about it and how all Christians aren't like that and stuff.

The scripture was very likely edited from long scriptures of the bible and translation can continuously get fuzzy. It might not even been talking about r**e in the first place.

Second, it is important to understand that the Hebrew words used in Deuteronomy 22, verses 25 and 28 do not necessarily indicate [censored]. In verse 25, the Hebrew word chazaq is used, and it essentially means “seize,” or “take hold of.” In verse 28, a different Hebrew word taphas is used, and while it has a very similar meaning to chazaq, it is not the same word. In both verses 25 and 28, the Hebrew word shakab is used, and while it literally means “lie down,” it is used throughout the Old Testament to refer to sexual intercourse. So, both verses 25 and 28 describe a man seizing and having sex with a woman. While this is a possible description of [censored], it does not explicitly refer to [censored]. Also, the differences in the Hebrew words between Deuteronomy 22, verses 25 and 28, could be interpreted as verse 25 referring to [censored], with verse 28 referring to consensual sex. Further, in other Old Testament passages that refer to [censored], different Hebrew words are used (Judges 19:25, 20:5; 2 Samuel 13:14, 32; Zechariah 14:2).

I have no idea if that's true, but I dunno really. I'm agnostic really, but it's actually quite interesting.

and again... "that is one of the reason that i am agnostic"

I think this is sick.
the people actually believe they are doing the right thing, for example:

Do you have scripture to support that?

Those people must have been locked away from society with a bible as their best friend.
oh and btw I'm a christian

Umm...did you miss KingdomBlade's post? He proved the website is satirical.

All you people saying "but most don't take the bible so seriously," what do you think of the westboro baptist churches funeral protests?
