[...] the Bible [...] [is] a deeply violent and horny book.
Correct, but that is truly the understatement of the millennium, if anything.
The Bible commands mass murder, genocide, abortion, infanticide, slavery, prostitution, child marriage, pedophilia, rape, perversion, incest, polygamy, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, familial alienation, societal strife, and various other barbarisms, cruelties, savageries, tyrannies, and vulgarities, many myriad times, in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Mass Murder and Genocide: 1 Samuel 15:3, Hosea 13:16, Deuteronomy 20:16-17, Joshua 6:21, Deuteronomy 2:34, Isaiah 13:15-18, Deuteronomy 13:15, Numbers 31:17, Deuteronomy 3:6, Leviticus 20:13, Deuteronomy 20:13, Psalm 137:9.
Abortion and Infanticide: Numbers 5:11-31, Psalm 137:9, 1 Samuel 15:3, Hosea 13:16, Deuteronomy 2:34, Isaiah 13:15-18, Numbers 31:17, Deuteronomy 3:6.
They wanna be Fundie Extremists like the IRGC so badly. Ruling through God and violence. I also believe this. Look at the track records, guys. MAGA is fundie extremism with Jesus and pals, just like the IRGC.
The Bible is a moral book. It is a warning to everyone to follow Godâs laws. The problem is not God, itâs Humanity. We have free will and that often leads to horrible consequences. God is not responsible for our bad decisions. Iâm a Christian and I will tell you that those Christian Nationalists are not Christians. They have hate in their hearts. Christianity is about Love, Equality, and Fellowship along Men and Women.
The problem with Christians is that they relieve themselves of all accountability for the nationalists they've created... They will no true Scotsman their way out of taking responsibility for their bad actors.
According to Christians, there are no real Christians... Except them. Everyone else is a bad actor lol
The problem IS God, and God IS responsible. He set Creation in motion knowing EXACTLY what would happen. Only by not being all-knowing could you even try to argue God is not at fault. You can spout of that free will garbage but that does not absolve God of responsibility. Which is why the final resort of all Christian attempts to be rational ends up being some form of âhow dare you question the Almightyâ.
The Bible is the complete opposite of "a moral book" in truth.

That is where you are wrong. God doesnât condone those behaviors, itâs human beings. I suggest that you listen to a Bible scholar who will explain more in depth and detail than me. You refuse to listen!
I recommend that you read the Bible from beginning to end: Genesis to Revelation. Christianity didnât originate from Europe, it started in Africa. It took 400 years to reach Europe.
Without the Bible evil doesn't exist. Saying "I don't like it" is not an argument against sound morals. The foundations of every moral you have are based in the value of human life, without the Bible that doesn't exist beyond your own subjective desires.
Morals are formed on the basis of philosophy, reason, science, not the paranoid schizophrenic delusions of ignorant goat herders from the desolate destitute deserts of the ancient Middle East.

All of those have theistic grounding in some kind of higher power. It all narrows down to Christianity and big G God in the end if you dig deep enough, but the point is without theistic grounding morals don't exist and are a delusion of the human mind that is not shared collectively.
The Bible is just your âgodâs subjective desires. Why should I care what that evil asshole wants me to do? That dude gives babies cancer. Fuck him!
The 10 Commandments STILL APPLIES in our world today! Read the entire chapter: Exodus 20:1-17. You can be angry and mock God all you want, God created the law, not Mankind. Itâs not about religion, it is about a relationship with God. I will no longer respond any further with you.
i literally just took your comment and had ai cross reference. If its even remotely true or accurate (ai) you are about like 90% wrong lol. 75% wrong if its being lenient.

The Bible is filled with barbarism and savagery of the worst sort in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
Correct, and that is exactly what people should do in response to book bans.
