The folks who read the same scripture a few thousand years ago didn't have a problem with it.

I'd say the Jewish community 2000 years ago was closer and understood their history much more than today. There 's no indication that they doubted the veracity of their Torah.
If you read most of the posts down here in the basement there is no indication most doubt the veracity of their FOX news.I'd say the Jewish community 2000 years ago was closer and understood their history much more than today. There 's no indication that they doubted the veracity of their Torah.
I think most down here do doubt the veracity of anything establishment. Fox is establishment
Republican as MSNBC and CNN and most of the major media is establishment left. Now does fox get closer to the truth and MSNBC yes. Closer than CNN... it depends who on CNN is talking vs who on Fox news but you have to doubt anything they are saying if it part of the establshment spin. Guys whose analysis I used to respect have become far more slanted. It gotten to the point that I wonder if George Will really tells the truth about baseball.

but... if these passages cause you to disbelieve.. I guess that is your right.
they are tough passages...
It's not to do with not believing.
The passages of hatred and violence condoned by the Bible is something I would not accept from anywhere period. And it's troubling to see grown people, who should know better, being apologists for it.
As far as disbelieve goes, not believing in God is just like not believing in Pixies.
Let's face it, there is something fundamentally morally wrong with the human psyche that it cannot unreservedly refuse those violent and appalling so called teachings within religious books like the Bible, but allows them, by excusing them, for fear of objecting against what is only a mere imaginary concept - the supposed author, inciter and perpetrator of those atrocities - God. Instead if not all, most religious believers would be apologists for such depravity.
Human decency and basic morality can do far better than that.
Particularly God's.Make no mistake "all" sin will be judged.
God? How ludicrous. There is certainly no "god".
believing an unexplained creation could have a Creator is not like believing in pixies.
no matter how you rephrase its still juvenile sophistry.
