Shows the Bible is sexist and biased against women. Men could not only be quarrelsome and ill-tempered, but also violent. But there is no suggestion/advice for women in that situation.P_Dilemma said:Proverbs 21:19
"Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife"
I'll keep that in mind

And an old tort book I have refers to both men and women as man. Who is to say that the laws don't apply to both?BritneySpears said:Shows the Bible is sexist and biased against women.

Holy shit, I was about to post the same; the "ethic of reciprocity", a.k.a. "The Golden Rule". (Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31, Luke 10:27)Not-That-Bright said:do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
Quoted for truth.Lucid_Scintilla said:apparently atheists are "smarter
<3. Quoted.Josie said:As much as I enjoy quotes from fiction, I can't remember any bible quotes off the top of my head at the moment.
I think you'll find alot of that's from Hammurabi's code of laws - I also think it's a terrible idea in practice.If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Yea I try to paraphrase the principles.NTB, you're quote is actually, "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. " (The Bible: Matthew 26:52)

Its not. Whats its saying is actually kinda true. Example: My family. You don't get on the bad sides of the females in my family.BritneySpears said:Shows the Bible is sexist and biased against women.

Jews are insulted more than christians around here! But i think it might be something to do with everyone already knowing that nobody likes christians, so theres no point insulting them really.. The jews on the other hand, thats a way more radical insult! And they have the added bonus of hitler jokes..Interesting to see how people attack Christianity so easily yet completely ignores the fact that some of these quotes are also believed by Jews as well as Christians.
Christianity, as a religion, is far, far more insulted here, and anywhere, than Judiasm. Hence what i previously said.Legham said:Jews are insulted more than christians around here!

lol, well then its different here. Suprisingly, its always the gay guys at my school who are the ones who make fun of Christianity.....Legham said:Perhaps it's cause i live in a small-ish town where the people are way different than in cities.. Nobody even talks about christianity here.
The reason Christianity is being attacked is because Christians are starting these threads to "inform us", not Jews.S1M0 said:Its not. Whats its saying is actually kinda true. Example: My family. You don't get on the bad sides of the females in my family.
And since thats from the Old Testament, its also believed by Jews. Interesting to see how people attack Christianity so easily yet completely ignores the fact that some of these quotes are also believed by Jews as well as Christians.
I think you'll find that's the story of lot and his daughters. They apparently got him drunk so they could take advantage of him as they were still under the influence of Sodom.I especially like the one in the Old Testament where it is espoused that fathers should sleep with their daughters.
