This is my same struggle every day having been raised in a preacher's home.
Reading the Bible is what turned me into an atheist
Loving the bible makes you christian.
reading the bible makes you athiest.
Same.
Psalms 137:9 is my favorite verse.
Hmm I looked it up and apparently one has to be careful with interpreting this. It's not really about being happy to dash infants against rocks. It's simply a call for the destruction of the entire nation of people. It's really about justice! And that's a good thing! /s
Those babies deserved it, and if they didn't they're going to heaven anyway, so really it's a mercykill.
Anway, love thy neighbors!
FYI: Israelites are a branch of Canaanites, El is a Canaanitic god, and The Exodus lacks evidence from ever happening.
That was absolutely wild to learn as ex-Christian. Also, the social hole you fall into as you leave Christianity is pretty terrifying, but you'll eventually learn to deal with it.
Same. And the ultimate irony is that the values I used to determine that the Bible is a fucked up book that I want nothing to do with, are the same values that my uber-Christian parents instilled in me, and then lost at some point along the way.
