It's almost like the book is complete nonsense, and any attempt to quote it to defend any type of behavior is fucking stupid

I assure you that I didn't ignore shit, my point was that it's all contradictory

    You did ignore things, you were just consciously omitting text that reshape the meaning of your quote. Because, when taken in larger context, the meaning of quotes changes. Lile how language works.

    But I agree that quoting the Bible as if it were a collection of independent axioms needs to stop. I'm just not in favor of your Hammurabian approach to disproving it. Everything can look like bollocks when everyone uses shite methods of proof but for opposite positions.

    Preachers have been doing exactly that since before the Bible was codified by the council of Nicaea. And continue to do so in increasingly more outrageous ways.

    Yeah. That sucks.

    I'm of the belief that the Bible isn't some living, hold text. It's just a history book of the philosophy of Christianity, where the Old Testament is used as foundational context for the espoused philosophy in the New Testament. Pretending every word is divinely-inspired and every verse has to be Truth is weird and completely incorrect.
