The meme only works if you never open the book.

Lobster falls under the ceremonial law. Food rules set Israel apart from the nations until Christ fulfilled them. Jesus declared all foods clean in Mark 7, and Peter got the sheet full of animals in Acts 10. Nobody in a biblical church is losing sleep over a lobster roll.

Rape carried the death penalty in Deuteronomy 22. The man dies and the woman is declared innocent. That's a harder line than any American court is allowed to draw.

Slavery gets similar treatment. Kidnapping a man and selling him was a capital crime in Exodus 21. Paul lists slave traders right alongside murderers in 1 Timothy. A runaway slave was not to be handed back to his master. And the Bible records plenty of broken things it never endorses. David took another man's wife, and God sent a prophet to his door about it.

The Canaanite conquest is the heavy one and it deserves a straight answer. God gave those nations four hundred years before judgment came, and later sent Israel into exile under the same standard. That was a judge ruling on a specific people at a specific time. No king or army gets to borrow that authority for his own war.

Then there's the part your meme skips. You call genocide evil and I agree with you. But in a universe of matter bumping into matter, where does "evil" come from? You're standing on a moral floor while trying to rip it out.

Happy to go verse by verse on any of these. #ToChristAlone

Atheists really are the epitome of cringe and ignorance. They love their "gotcha" arguments but clearly have never actually read the book, or even the doctrines of the one religion they typically criticize. Or, as the Word itself puts it, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God'."

Pretty retarded meme. At the same time, I'm a complete blasphemy. And we're all the same in that respect.

Let’s not forget who WROTE and REWROTE the bible. Media control is nothing new. I find it SO interesting that to be Christian is to be forgiving and that handily serves Jew’s interests.

Sorry but chrsitians are retarded. The Bible clearly prohibits eating pork and lobsters and a bunch of other shit that every chrsitian preacher wants to ignore. The biblical rules make sense in their context, pigs will eat whatever garbage is available, lobsters entire diet is shit, they fucking...

I wasn't always a follower of Christ. I spent many years believing lies that the world told me about the self. So I do have some empathy for non believers, however it does seem interesting that the name "Jesus Christ" invokes such rage in many. "The light has come into the world, and people love...
