Deuteronomy - Chapter 23

1 He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

Kinda raises the stakes for riding a bicycle...

Bastards and their descendants get a rough deal in the next verse-

2. A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

Wasn't Jeebus supposed to be the bastard son of Mary and the holy spirit? Apparently the New Testament storytellers had forgotten about Deuteronomy.

I made a t-shirt with that verse on. There's a picture of it on Ghat's vasectomy thread.

A few verses prior to that, there's one about women having their hands cut off if the touch a man's dick.

Can't god make it grow back again?



Oh, hang on. He can't heal amputees.

There should be a widely available book called "The Bible - the nasty bits"

And no, it's not all of it (except in a philosophical sense)

Just the bits like this, and the bears eating the kids, and all the other totally and overtly evil crap...

So this all powerful being is out creating the universe, and it takes time out to create these rules for such odd situations? Really?

Other that The Skeptics Annotated Bible, you mean?
