Bibles in hotel drawers?

[Altitudes]

Tell me again why I must respect others religious beliefs and convictions? As Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies". Sure you can believe in a lie, even let your child die because of your ignorance, but don't expect me to respect you for it.

...and they are only trying to help people...

they help themself in the first place
you can`t separate altruism from egoism.
it´s just buying eternal life with secular good conduct,...an important part of institutionalized christianity.

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

I have a neighbour who insists on working on Sunday(Sabbath). Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I m****ly obligated to kill him myself?

Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

When I find a Gideon's Bible, I throw it away.

When I last stayed in a hotel it had a Gideon's Bible and I stole, for 3 reasons:

1) I thought it would be ironic due to the commandment 'thou shalt not steal'.

2) I actually wanted to read some of it and figured it would get better use than to prop up various peoples underpants.

3) On the inside of the front cover, someone had signed:

All the Best,

God

I thought that was pretty hilarious to be honest.

not that i care if you did steal it... but actually it's impossible to steal a Gideon's Bible from a hotel/motel... the Gideons want you to take them... that's why they put them there.

Pics or it didn't happen.

I guarantee you there wasnt a 3rd person taking pics of us during our honeymoon But the bible was actually OVER the drawers furniture thing, so it watched the whole show

I'm pretty sure it said words to the effect of "please don't remove this from *wherever*" on one of the first few pages. Although I could be mistaken.

Of course it also said that Grandpa Noah made a boat out of sticks, collected all the animals in the world and survived a storm so powerful that it nuked the rest of the planet... before living his life to the tender old age of about a thousand.

So I wasn't sure exactly how much of it's inner text I was meant to trust...


Either way I read a good chunk of it. Here's my summary of the old Testament: ( )

In the beginning God created the earth. And then man - out of some dust and pocket fluff I believe. Nice work. Naturally man wanted to stick his dick in every hole imaginable. Cue angry god shooting fire and brimstone - and a bit of flooding for good measure - on all the naughty perpetrators. (or should that be penetrators?)
Noah and his foxy missus aside, mankind got burned and pissed away. Back to square one. Next crop of people weren't much better, but instead of punishing the naughty people for all their sins he sent down his son to take an absolute battering on their behalf. However, he had some sweet magic skills and came back to life for a bit, before disappearing. Took a two thousand year vacation to Mars before re-appearing recently in Vancouver, Canada sporting a 'skullet'.

The end.

Sounds about right. Forgot about the incest and talking bushes.

This does a good job.

here's a quote from a woman who's husband directly asked a Gideon bible distributor:

"My husband was told by a Gideon that anyone is free to take a Bible if they want it. Gideon Bibles are not for sale. Their whole purpose is to be given away to those who need them."

but yeah, anyway...

It is true......
but he didn`t manage this on his own. A psychoanalytical study of certain pre christian writings on seafaring proved Noah had Archetypes.
