I think there is a porn bible. I forget who the comic writer is. The name start with R. It shows actual bible stories with lots of explicit nudity. Something like Milo Manara.
Bible actually tell us (well, Jews actually), to attack another country, kill all the male, and rape all the virgin females. What religion says and what bible says have little in common. Religions are always ways to justify political motives.
Because the political structure in ancient time differs than now, it’s only natural that religions then have different interpretation now than before. In ancient time, the king rules. So polygamy is okay (because all kings want it). Now, we are democracy. So polygamy is not okay because swing voters don’t like it. Very simple.
Pick any 2 countries with Similar religion and you see differing custom. In Indonesia, which is democratic by now, polygamy is very politically incorrect that congress start making laws banning it. In Saudi, a monarch, it’s a different story.
Pick any 2 countries with DIFFERENT religion, and you’ll see the same custom. Polygamy is politically incorrect in both Indonesia and China, for example.
If you ask a Christian what the bible says, you can predict what his political agenda is. That’s it. People prohibits porn and go to war not because they are pious. They do so because they hate porn and like war.
I am talking to some Jewish friends that claim that hebrew bible has different meaning than the way it’s translated. Well, I’d like to know if there is some 5-10% trace of a REAL GOD, in judaism or whether it’s just another folklore. 90% of religions are definitely product of secular imagination.
What’s really funny is I saw a book about how a Christian writer use Solomo as a sample on how to get rich. I was like, Come the fuck on. Solomo got rich because he oppressed the people.
In fact, tax was so high during Solomo’s time that the kingdom split into 2. The “Shiah” Jews, also called Judah, believe that king must be David’s decendant, and the “Sunni” Jews, called Israelites, or Samaritants then believe they can pick their own leader.
Huahem…. Again and again. Oh ya, they kill each other over dispute on whether God is in mount Zion or in mount Moriah or something. Just like Christians. Some cultures never change.
