Scary stuff in the Bible
Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 2:45 am
I have a question
I feel very confused by the bible. I came here to hopefully gain some understanding of the texts from your point of view. I am not Christian... mostly because I read the bible... There are a lot of disturbing and scary things in it. It is very bloody, graphic, and sexual. When I picked it up... I kinda wasn't expecting all that.
How may I attempt to discuss these things... without breaking the rules or offending people? I believe I may have come to a different conclusion than the book was intending to get across. I simply can not believe that Christians would think it OK to do most of which I read...
However- I found Ezekiel despite being very, very scary- to be my favorite book with in the Bible. I found it exciting and cool.
Ug. I want so badly to talk about the Bible and that is why I have come here.
And I really like the Art even though the Bible says... it is bad?
Do you get what I am trying to say? Like... there is a lot of stuff in the Bible that isn't PG13... much of it is NC 17.
