Great job taking out one line.
There's a whole lot more than one line, heck in the last post I gave you two. The first one advocate murdering everyone in this thread who disagrees with you. I suppose it actually requires you to murder almost everyone on earth. The bible advocates a number of hate crimes, don't try and say it doesn't promote hate.
An example of the bible promoting bullshit....how about unicorns?
Job 39:9-12 (King James Version)
9Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
10Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
Psalm 29:6 (King James Version)
He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
Isaiah 34:7 (King James Version)
And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
Flawed concepts and dumb ideas: What about where Jesus advocates healing the sick through demon exorcism?
Violence, murder and immoral actions: There's the two quotes I've already given and a bunch more. I'll list a few.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (New International Version)
18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard." 21 Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid. I suppose that one counts for fear mongering as well. Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. There's another one demanding you kill everyone who disagrees with you in this thread. Exodus 22:17 NAB You should not let a sorceress live. Leviticus 20:13 NAB If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives. Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB But if this charge is true, and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles, and the predicted signs or miracles take place. If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the gods of foreign nations,' do not listen to them. The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul. Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. The false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of Egypt. Since they try to keep you from following the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from among you. The bible condoning slavery: Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. Is that enough to show that it's not just one passage? I really don't want to go back and find more and most people probably don't want to read a post like the above. My sub has been complaining that an addiction to lolcats has ruined our grammar and spelling but I really feel like reading that much of the bible has done far more damage to my intellect. quote:

But thanks for making my point for me. In the first quote, worshipping other gods IS the sin. By doing so, one will suffer the consequences of THAT sin. Duh. Too bad you only took out one line of my post otherwise I would take the time to explain.
I read that and picked my passages to answer it. I didn't pick ones where someone commits a horrible act on another or where the god does something horrible, amoral, nonsensical and contradictory. I picked passages where the bible commands you the reader to murder people.

But it appears you're not interested in that. And why should I have to murder you? I don't give a shit about this. Or you for that matter. Wouldn't dream of sharing what I think God is or is not. I'm not here for confession or to witness. See, I guess you assumed I was religious (or something.) When you assume, you make an ass out of you. And, in this case, not me.
I don't think for a moment that you believe the above quotes. I'm actually sure you don't, otherwise you'd be in jail. However, you as a reader of the bible (which you must be to have told us what the bible does not promote) have been told by the bible that you must kill me. Now what was it you were saying about assumptions [;)]
