Kill Sons of Sinners
Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
Killing the Good Samaritan
The ark of God was placed on a new cart and taken away from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab guided the cart, with Ahio walking before it, while David and all the Israelites made merry before the Lord with all their strength, with singing and with citharas, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God to steady it, for the oxen were making it tip. But the Lord was angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there before God. (2 Samuel 6:3-7 NAB)

God loves the non believer, just hates the non belief.
he loves us, just hates that we have to burn forever.
Kill Men, Women, and Children
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
Still my favorite
God Will Kill Children
The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don't give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, "All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children." (Hosea 9:11-16 NLT)
Destruction of Ai
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the entire army and attack Ai, for I have given to you the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land. You will destroy them as you destroyed Jericho and its king. But this time you may keep the captured goods and the cattle for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city." So Joshua and the army of Israel set out to attack Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand fighting men and sent them out at night with these orders: "Hide in ambush close behind the city and be ready for action. When our main army attacks, the men of Ai will come out to fight as they did before, and we will run away from them. We will let them chase us until they have all left the city. For they will say, 'The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.' Then you will jump up from your ambush and take possession of the city, for the LORD your God will give it to you. Set the city on fire, as the LORD has commanded. You have your orders." So they left that night and lay in ambush between Bethel and the west side of Ai. But Joshua remained among the people in the camp that night.
Early the next morning Joshua roused his men and started toward Ai, accompanied by the leaders of Israel. They camped on the north side of Ai, with a valley between them and the city. That night Joshua sent five thousand men to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city. So they stationed the main army north of the city and the ambush west of the city. Joshua himself spent that night in the valley. When the king of Ai saw the Israelites across the valley, he and all his army hurriedly went out early the next morning and attacked the Israelites at a place overlooking the Jordan Valley. But he didn't realize there was an ambush behind the city. Joshua and the Israelite army fled toward the wilderness as though they were badly beaten, and all the men in the city were called out to chase after them. In this way, they were lured away from the city. There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who did not chase after the Israelites, and the city was left wide open.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Point your spear toward Ai, for I will give you the city." Joshua did as he was commanded. As soon as Joshua gave the signal, the men in ambush jumped up and poured into the city. They quickly captured it and set it on fire. When the men of Ai looked behind them, smoke from the city was filling the sky, and they had nowhere to go. For the Israelites who had fled in the direction of the wilderness now turned on their pursuers. When Joshua and the other Israelites saw that the ambush had succeeded and that smoke was rising from the city, they turned and attacked the men of Ai. Then the Israelites who were inside the city came out and started killing the enemy from the rear. So the men of Ai were caught in a trap, and all of them died. Not a single person survived or escaped. Only the king of Ai was taken alive and brought to Joshua.
When the Israelite army finished killing all the men outside the city, they went back and finished off everyone inside. So the entire population of Ai was wiped out that day – twelve thousand in all. For Joshua kept holding out his spear until everyone who had lived in Ai was completely destroyed. Only the cattle and the treasures of the city were not destroyed, for the Israelites kept these for themselves, as the LORD had commanded Joshua. So Ai became a permanent mound of ruins, desolate to this very day. Joshua hung the king of Ai on a tree and left him there until evening. At sunset the Israelites took down the body and threw it in front of the city gate. They piled a great heap of stones over him that can still be seen today. (Joshua 8:1-29 NLT)
RandomGuy, why does any of this even matter if God supposedly doesn't exist?
Yeah, it is a bit like the guy who beats his wife and kids because he "loves them".
I could go on with more stuff.
The bible is a failure when it comes to showing what is "moral" and what isn't.
You did read the OP, yes?
Simple question, if he does not exist then why does it matter?

Cursed be he who does the Lords work remissly, cursed he who holds back his sword from blood. (Jeremiah 48:10 NAB)Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)
like this really illustrates how horribly written much of the Bible is, if you ignore the historical significance and just focus on the plot.... two random-ass "shebears" tearing people limb from limb? What the ?
It matters because there are people that claim they get their morality from the bible.
The bible is not a source of morals.
Answer this question:
Is it moral to slit the throat of a child?
Or alternately:
How do you know what is moral?
Koolaid man trying to using the Bible as his evidence but doesn't realize who Noah wasthanks for proving that you've never read it like the other 95% of christians and just spout off nonsensical garbage because it supports your insane point of view
that ismael-robert jeebo should be in any moment to explain how it's not to be taken literally and that it's a parable with some kind of deeper, insightful meaning
Your point is that if you're a moral person, then you believe in God. The church also quotes the definition of moral values as one of the main achievement and raison d'etre of organized religion.Slomo trying to be gangsta by posting a link without providing commentary...I like that Slomo
He hangeth the earth upon nothing. Job 26:7
Science just confirmed this to be true...science doesn't teach morality it teaches outcomes of it...(for example penis inside vagina = good feeling)
I will take a look at the book.
The book however makes a strong claim that morale societies will thrive faster and more successfully than immoral ones, which means that even without organized religion society would promote a very similar set of moral values simply because it is good for its survival and expansion.
I attended a Bah Mitzvah last year - only time I've heard a Rabii "preach". He knew there were many Christians (and frankly atheists as well - the boy was the son of a popular professor), so he spoke right to us. Told us in no uncertain terms that to read the Torah (old testament, essentially) and NOT interpret it, was to be an idiot. It was written TO be interpreted, debated and discussed. He showed me his personal Torah, handed down for generations - it was fascinating; there were notes in the margins written by every rabii who had ever had it; and they went back HUNDREDS of years. He said he would read those notes as much, or more than, the text itself.
The bible is a product of man. There is no denying this. People who do, deceive themselves - just reading various translations of the SAME bible can give VERY different meanings.
(meant to quote RG's post containing several Old Testament verses - didn't pay attention that those were quotes themselves, so they didn't show up)
Instinct (and if you subscribe to CS Lewis's teachings, that instinct is itself proof of God). An argument, however, could easily be made that that ingrained morality in Humans is the result of evolution....being necessary to live together in complex societies
Is this a serious question? I dunno, maybe because of all the jeebo s like you who elect jeebo reps to promote and lobby for jeebo laws and policies?
