There is plenty of others this just happens to be about the bible since that is what you posted about.

Morally Repugnant Christian Quotes Advocating Killing and Rape

" warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. <...> And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. <...> And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? <...> Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."
(Numbers 31:7-18, KJV)
That's just beautiful, isn't it? Imagine telling that to your kids as a bedtime story: "And then the Lord commanded Moses to murder all the male babies and the women who have had sex. But they kept alive all the young nubile virgin girls so that they could have fun raping them, and so everyone lived happily ever after."


"O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."
(Psalms 137:8-9, KJV)
O daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us -- he who seizes your infants and dashes their brains against the rocks.


"And utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. <...> left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded."
(Joshua 6:21 and 10:40)
Ahhh, another beautiful bedtime story. God commanded Joshua to murder a whole city, so he took his army into the city and they stabbed everyone in the belly with their swords, including the children and animals!


"I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.... The enemies have vanished in everlasting ruins; their cities you have rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.... The LORD will swallow in his wrath, and fire will consume them. will destroy their offspring from the earth ... their children from ... humankind."
(Psalms 9:2, 6, and 21:9-10)
Such a benevolent god.


" proclaimed with loud voices: 'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth, wisdom and might, honor and glory and praise!'... I saw heaven wide open, and a white horse appeared; its rider's name was Faithful and True, for he is just in judgment and just in war.... e was robed in a garment dyed in blood, and he was called the Word of God. The armies of heaven followed him.... Out of his mouth came a sharp sword to smite the nations; for it is he who will rule them with a rod of iron, and tread the winepress of the fierce wrath of God the sovereign Lord."
(Revelation 5:11-12 and 19:11, 13-15)
Worthy is the person who has killed people in order to get power and wealth? What sort of morals are these to teach to your children?? If god were a person, we would have put him in jail with a life sentence by now.


"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace but a sword."
(Jesus according to Matthew 10:34, KJV)
"Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
(Jesus according to Luke 22:36, KJV)

Great, Jesus, that is just what we need -- more violence, more wars, no peace. I think Jesus (if he really existed at all) was a fugging ASSHOLE. The world needs PEACE, not violence, and yet here we have Jesus saying that he sends violence (a sword) not peace.


"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."
(Jesus according to Luke 19:27, KJV)
Here we have another example of Jesus being a homicidal megalomaniac. Bring all the people that he does not reign over, and murder them in front of him? In the parable of the talents, Jesus says that God takes what is not rightly his, and reaps what he didn't sow. The parable ends with the words of Jesus as quoted above.


"And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him."
(Leviticus 19:20 - 19:22)
If you read this carefully, you will see that it is saying that if a man has sex with a slave woman, then she must be scourged/punished, but the man's sins "shall be forgiven him". A man can rape a slave women and be forgiven!

"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire."
(Leviticus 21:9)
In other words, if the daughter of a priest has sex, she must be burnt to death. Good ol' Christian morals.


"Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. <...> Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children."
(Isaiah 13:15-18)
Kill the children in front of their parents, and rape the wives! _HOLY SHIT_! How much of a perverted psychopath do you have to be to write something like that?? I think the christian bible must have been written by serial killers!


"And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts."
(Exodus 11:4-5)
As you can see above, christianity promotes killing people who believe differently, and it promotes children being "dashed to pieces" before the eyes of their parents, and young virgin girls being raped after their parents are killed. Even Jesus himself speaks of "slaying" people. Anyone who promotes the christian bible, knowing that it contains these things, is a SICK and TWISTED person. And note that the above is only a PARTIAL list of the sections of the bible promoting killing, rape and other sick activities!

Furthermore, it is a fact that Catholic priests regularly sexually abuse children (Click for examples from the media). I think that every priest should be given a free surgical castration when he is ordained.

Above, I have only been dealing with violence, killing, and rape, but the christian bible is also packed full of other immoral and unethical orders. For example, women should be horrified when they read that the christian bible orders women to relinquish their rights and subject themselves to their husbands authority in every way:


"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."
(Ephesians 5:22-24, KJV)
And parents should be horrified when they read that jesus says you must hate your family if you want to be his disciple:

"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
(Jesus according to Luke, 14:26, KJV)
For more information about the hundreds of immoral and unethical passages in the christian bible, I recommend that you visit the Skeptics Annotated Bible website.

The best proof that god does not exist is that if he did exist, he would have smote you damn christians by now. I mean, seriously, what god would endure the way these christians behave? Even if a christian god did exist, he would have died of embarrassment by now.

In all seriousness, it is less of an insult to be called a Devil-Worshiper than a Christian. Have Christian's conducted violent Crusades of mass-murder? Yes, read the history books. Have Devil-Worshipers? Not that I am aware of. Or even if they have, the number of murders conducted in the name of the Devil is surely 1% of the number of murders conducted in the name of Christianity. When one considers the violent and murderous history of Christianity, one has to conclude that Christianity's depiction of the Devil is -- at the very least -- a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
