No problem. Go right ahead. Waiting...................

From the King James Version....

I'd start with Leviticus 20 - with its classic and immortal line on Homosexuality.

Then there is the wonderful Leviticus 24:20 which suggests all sorts of wonderful things. One would imagine that the amputation of limbs, the gouging out of eyes and all sorts of other forms of Justice are allowed because of this. After all, God says its all right

Now I must admit I don't understand Leviticus 24:22... perhaps you could help me there.

Leviticus 25:44 - the enslaving of non-believers...well I never.

If I can ever find a copy of the Giddions Bible I was shown once, I'll be happy. I seem to recall a wonderful part of Leviticus there which suggests that rape is alright if you promise the father of your victim that you will marry them.

But lets get to the point shall we. You will suggest that these quotes are taken out of context and anyway, the bible is open to interpretation.

So why not give the Korran a break and give its readers the same degree of credit you (and I for that matter) claim for yourself


I apologise for the delay in this post...other then the Giddions bible I mentioned above, I've never read the bible in English and thus it took me a while to find the quotes
