Can Biggestbtc really think antislavery statements = trolling for controversy. Or even demonstrating that someone who pretends to endorse slavery would not tolerate enslavement. That = trolling for controversy. Here in the unicyclist community, you’ll find no meaningful controversy about slavery.
Mike,
Not sure I understand. First you say “it is to be presumed that each person who posts one posts one that suits his or her purposes in posting.” So I’m to presume your quotes suit your purpose, which serves to support your view that there are bad things in the Bible.
If your point is that there is bad stuff in the Bible, really, you could have picked much worse examples. After all, how truly bad is it to curse the fig tree? Casting demons into a herd of innocent pigs and then drive them over the cliff. I mean, c’mon Mike, you may not eat pork, but you might enjoy a hamburger. Is that any worse? You never waste food?
Raising one individual from the dead can hardly be framed as bad. It’s not as good as ending world hunger, but bad it is not.
And providing inspiration for countless heavy metal songs, if you really think that’s bad, you may be older than your years.
Your point is that there is plenty of bad stuff in the Bible, but there’s also bad stuff in Homer, Shakespeare, and indeed any other serious writings by intelligent people. There’s one Shakespeare play where they kill the sons and bake them into pies they feed the parents, then tell them about it!! Norse and Saxon myths, and even the works of Tolkien, contain plenty of bad stuff too. Even Winnie the Pooh disturbs the bees and steals their honey. Now that’s BAD!
