All that is necessary, as it seems to me, to convince any reasonable person that the Bible is simply and purely of human invention â?? of barbarian invention â?? is to read it. Read it as you would any other book; think of it as you would of any other; get the bandage of reverence from your eyes; drive from your heart the phantom of fear; push from the throne of your brain the coiled form of superstition â?? then read the Holy Bible, and you will be amazed that you ever, for one moment, supposed a being of infinite wisdom, goodness and purity, to be the author of such ignorance and of such atrocity."
[Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872]
Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . question about christian view of homosexuality I was just thinking, in christianity (and probably a bunch of other monotheistic religions) god is very against homosexuality and generally condemns you to hell for poking someone in the ass. might I ask why? is there some consequence, some harm done to god or society or somebody if you stick your penis in somebody's anus? what's the whole reason behind this ruling, or is it just accepted "because god said it" with no real reason given?
