Strange things in the Bible

Post by _aussieguy55 »

I found this strange passage

Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "If two men are in a fight and the wife of the one man, trying to
rescue her husband, grabs the genitals of the man hitting him, you are to cut off her
hand. Show no pity."

So much for standing by your man

I looked that up so that I could point out the actual scripture rather than your made up version. ROFLMAO you didn't make it up!
Absolutely hilarious.

I'd love to hear the Bible apologetic for this crap. Oh how the Bible is a shining source of morality!

Spencer Kimball would agree with this. It would be better for a woman to lose her hand than to touch the genitals of a man to whom she is not married.
I'm the apostate your bishop warned you about.

The KJV is even funnier:

11 When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:

12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her.

Taketh him by the secrets?! OMG, she's got me by the secrets! Remember to hide your family secrets!

ROTFLMAO

I hate it when the doctor grabs me by the secrets and tells me to cough.

There is tons of other strange crap in there. Maybe I'll add some later.
