do you agree with this statement?

[datasuspect]

Moral standards should be restored from the Word of God and the Bible should be the benchmark for all values.

[RebelOne]

1. Sorry, no, since I am an atheist. n/t

[fight4my3sons]

2. That would be a no for me too.

[wildhorses]

3. i wish this was a poll so i could vote for the option:

robb is a dingbat

[Deep13]

4. No. I oppose dashing babies on rocks, persecution of women,...

...violence against gays, xenophobia, genocide, fear of genuine inquiry, hereditary government, slavery, the bronze age building code the OT contains, restrictions on personal hygiene or anything that intefers with democracy.

[datasuspect]

5. that was the answer i was waiting for

this question was inspired by a front page story in the local newspaper.

[Orsino]

6. Putting people who say they talk to God in charge of government?

Hell, no. God usually tells them to commit atrocities and otherwise rob us.

[Tyler Durden]

7. GOD no.

And I'm certain HE/SHE wouldn't agree either.

[nickgutierrez]

8. Maybe I'm crazy, but...

...I'm not much of a fan of stoning.

[Shell Beau]

9. People's interpretations of the Bible and moral standards

are all over the place. What I see the Bible as saying one thing, extremists see it as another.

[datasuspect]

10. i hear what you are saying

but the extremists seem like they are in control.

maybe it's because they are louder and more prideful than a true christian.

[Shell Beau]

11. I think that is true. Hypocrisy reigns a lot in the Christian world unfortunately!

[El Fuego]

12. Sex and violence galore....

Take my Daughters. Please.

"Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them.' But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, 'Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with a man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like...'"
Genesis 19:4-8

Severed Heads make great gifts!

"And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, 'Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you...' And she came in haste before the king and asked, saying, 'I want you to give me right away the head of John the Baptist on a platter....' And immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother."
Mark 6:22-29


Boobies!

"Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, as a long hind and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times."
Proverbs 5:18-19

"Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. I said, 'I will climb the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit stalks.' Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine and the fragrance of your breath like apples."
Song of Solomon 7: 7-8

Christian Rape Guidelines:

"If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."
Deuteronomy 22:28-29

Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night!

"But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst." (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)

Kill Men, Women, and Children!!!!! Cause the Good Book says so.

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

[Hugin]

16. Quite frankly I'm shocked!

I only read the Bible for the pictures.

[grace0418]

17. "Severed Heads make great gifts!"

"And immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother."

Well, my mom *is* notoriously difficult to shop for...

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. No.

Not at all.

[ThomCat]

14. Over my dead body!

I don't want any damned fanatics regulating my life based on their faith and twisted visions of faery tales.
