Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Evils, Atrocities and Injustices of the Torah The following is a very SHORT list of sadistic acts that are commanded, allowed, or threatened by God and his " righteous " men. All of these verses can be found in the Torah. (which are the first five books of the Bible.) I have put them in chronological order so that you may verify them as you read along. (Keep in mind that the scriptures literally have an atrocity on every other page. So this list will keep evolving as I work through the Pentateuch yet again. To compile a full list may take months, so feel free to check back in later.) God entraps humans by placing the tree of knowledge in the garden and telling Adam and Eve not to eat of it. This is rather similar to placing a toy in front of a child and telling them they are not allowed to play with it. God created us with instinct, rebellion, and curiosity. Soon he punishes us for only doing what is part of our nature. Genesis 2:16.47 God now commands that all women must have health hazardous labors for Eve ate the fruit. In no way shape or form is it just that I must pay for the sins of my ancestors. Genesis 3:16 God caused sibling rivalry by favoring Abel over Cain, with absolutely no attempt at justification. This act of favoritism led to Abel's death. Genesis 4:3-5 Genesis 7:23 He killed, intentionally, every man, woman, and child on the planet save eight of them. God commands Hagar go back into servanthood and bear children for her master though she does not want to. Genesis 16:7-9 Genesis 19:23-25 God burns down a whole city (women and children included) simply because they were supposedly homosexual. Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and that the Lord slew him. How was Er wicked? The Bible doesn't give us this bit of information, only that Er was wicked in the sight of the Lord. Genesis 38:7 Genesis 38:10 God murders Onan for refusing to commit incest with his sister in law. Exodus 12:29 God repeatedly tells Moses exactly what calamity he will next visit upon the Egyptians if the Pharaoh does not allow the Israelites to be set free from slavery. Then he tells Moses (also repeatedly) that he will harden Pharaoh's heart, so that he will refuse to allow the Israelites to go, thus bringing a calamity upon his own people, as well as showing him the awesome power of the Israelites' Lord. This occurs over and over, bringing calamity upon calamity upon the Egyptian people. What is troubling about this verse is that when god " hardens the pharaoh's heart " he is interfering with the Pharaoh's free will and ultimately bringing punishment on the Egyptians for something they are not responsible for. As a final punishment god decides to kill all the first born of Egypt. The lord reduced himself to murdering innocent kids when he could have simply freed the Israelites himself with his " omnipotent " power. God punishes children for the sins of their fathers, unto the third and fourth generations. Punishing a child for the sins of their ancestors is not very just. Exodus 20:5 & 34:7 God endorses slavery. He even set up laws as to how slavery was to be carried out, and goes as far as Okaying beating them. Exodus 21:2-6 God sanctioned the selling of ones daughter. How can any being tell another to literally sell their child into slavery? Disgusting! Exodus 21:7 Exodus 22:18 God orders the death of witches, sorceresses and anyone who practices magic. Sadly enough, this verse was justification for the Inquisition. Exodus 32:27 God ordered to be killed, 3,000 Israelites for no greater crime than worshipping a golden calf. I don't know about you but death is a pretty harsh fucking punishment. Leviticus 20:9-10 God commands death for cursing out ones parents and death for adultery. Gee, with these types of laws the population should be almost nil by now. Once again god is a homophobe, or at the very least, a bigot. Leviticus 20:13 Handicapped people must not approach the altar. Leviticus 21:16-23 Leviticus 26:30 " And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shill ye eat. " Leviticus 27:28-29 God ordered and allowed human sacrifices. Numbers 16:27 God buries alive Korah and his family. Numbers 16:35 God killed 250 Levite princes who disagreed with Moses' leadership. He was so bloodthirsty that he wanted to slay more until he was talked out of it. Later he put a plague upon 14,700 Jews who thought there was something wrong in killing 250 princes. Numbers 21:1-3 God utterly destroyed the Canaanites at Hormah as a favor to the Jews. Numbers 21:27-35 God abetted Moses in utterly destroying the Amorites at Heshbon - " …the men, the women, and the little ones. " Numbers 31:17-18 God commands Moses to kill all the Medianite people including children and women. To top it off he commands that the virgins be saved for later raping by Moses' soldiers. Deuteronomy 3:3-7 God ordered Moses' army to " utterly destroy " 60 cities, killing all the women and children within! Deuteronomy 7:12 God ordered the Israelites to kill all the people of seven nations. He even adds, " show no mercy unto them " . Deuteronomy 20:16 God orders that we kill everything that breathes in the cities that he gives us for an inheritance A bastard can't attend church " even to his tenth generation. " As if denying an innocent child rights to worship isn't cruel.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Dear Jagbir and All, Even this short list of sadistic acts that are commanded, allowed, or threatened by God and his " righteous " men is unbelievable. i wonder who actually wrote them? i wonder who attributed to 'God' all these things that are actually 'anti-God'? According to this list, God does not even follow the Ten Commandments! The only thing that can be, is that whoever wrote these things about God - it must have been a different 'god' in their own image and likeness - and not the God of Love and of Light! If anyone wanted to destroy God's reputation, they couldn't have done better than attribute all the crimes to Him that they have done in the first five books of the Bible! i recall that in the Christian church, we were taught that these Old Testament Books were from the " past dispensation " and that they were not really relevant to us in our " present dispensation " . i guess the Christian ministers could not deal with the sadistic acts of God either. It was said that since Christ had come, there is a " new dispensation of Grace " . So all the crimes attributed to God were not really taken seriously. God was taught as a God of Love. He was also taught as a sort of Jealous God - jealous for our love and affection, in a nice way, not a vindictive way. We were also taught that sometimes God is Angry at the sin in people's lives; angry with the sin, but not angry with the sinner. We were taught that 'sin' is anything that separates us from God. That does cover a lot of sins, because just about anything and everything can separate us from God, if we allow it to! But as far as the first 5 Books of the Bible is concerned, i doubt if anyone who is truly close to the Divine, can take seriously that God will go against His Own Nature, which is Love. Religious people, but who are not close to the Divine Within, might think that God can disobey His Own Commandments. Fortunately we now have His Spirit, to set the record straight again! warmest regards, violet , " jagbir singh " <adishakti_org wrote: > > Evils, Atrocities and Injustices of the Torah > > The following is a very SHORT list of sadistic acts that are > commanded, allowed, or threatened by God and his " righteous " men. > All of these verses can be found in the Torah.
