[Risottia]

Matthew 7:7- Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.

I wonder if that applies to female genitalia or to male anuses.

Matthew 16:15: “But what about you?” he asked. “WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?”

[L Ron Cupboard]

Matthew 16:15: “But what about you?” he asked. “WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?”

The Gospel of Samuel L Jackson needs to be written.

I'm a fan of Psalm 137:1, 7-9(KJV), especially as read by Joshua Graham.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

Smash the babies on the rocks? God was fucking mental back then.

Ezekiel 23:20.

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

I think Ezekiel had some unresolved issues, personally.

This is also awesome.

Judges 1:19

And the LORD was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron.

And this is why any Civ player will tell you that while founding a religion is good, building tanks is better.

I have a few favourites. Here we go then:

If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.

Speaking with a high volume is a sinful thing to do, you see.

Especially in the morning. God didn't invent lie-ins so they could be disturbed by gobshites yelling out blessings.

[Reggae Magmia]

"What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. "

James 4:1-3, ESV

Eh, "God" and "guys who wrote the Bible" are basically interchangeable.

Revelation 21:6
He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.

What is your favorite verse from your holy book of choice? Mine is Deuteronomy 25:11-12. From the NIV,

If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

You know this actually had to have happened or it wouldn't be there.

None of them.

Also, to the underlined, no, you don't know that.

i think its safe to assume that it was something done often enough that the writer felt that it neededto be made clear that it was beyond the pale.

you dont prohibit things that no one does.

Smashing babies seems to have been the thing to do back then:

Samaria shall be utterly destroyed,
For she has resisted her God;
And they shall fall by the sword.
Their infants shall be dashed against the ground
And their pregnant women ripped up.

I suppose if you can't eat them there's nothing else to be done.

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

[Strawberrry Fields]

Genesis 1:29
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."

Good to know no poisonous or inedible seed bearing plants exist. MMMmMMM TOBACCO IS TOTALLY FOOD GUYS, so is that hemlock. Chow down.

You take the term food too literally, lol.

Plus I was referring to a different plant, one I enjoy toking.

Dadburnit ya had to just go ahead and post one of the best, if not the best (and obviously contextually contradictory) passages in that whole accursed book.
Good for you, in all sincerity.

Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

And so, of course, that's exactly what THEY did, and that's of course what never transpired as a consequence.

[Khadgar]

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. " (Matthew 6:5-7).

Them too, good point. Say, does that qualify R$ as an antichrist? i mean his policies do, but that inculpates his party as a whole, not so much his curious cult religion.
