Is an insult to God. At least the Higher Power, Creator I believe in.
The Bible is a representation of the spiritual writings, letters, stories, and mythologies of early Mesopotamia.
It contains many powerful and inspiring stories. But it also contains evidence of a brutal and inhuman society that stoned people to death, treated women as property, and owned slaves...
The Old Testament portrays God as a pissy old man wondering around the desert, playing cruel jokes on his people... "kill your son... just kidding!"
We humans are limited in our imaginations, in that we always portray our God's in human form.
The bible is an imperfect collection of early writings, that can all too easily be manipulated to Man's ill-will. The Bible has been used to justify so many awful things, God's word? Hardly.
